Time for a change
I’ve
Also, I’ve decided it’s time for a change. I’ve been thinking for a while about taking my dreads out, and I’ve decided to do it! aargh… I’m still not certain, BUT I’ve been on about it for so long that I think I’m just going to do it. They can always go back in. I really really miss having hair I can do something with.
Lately, as I’ve been blog surfing I keep coming across photos of people with long, dark flowing locks and I’m jealous! I don’t feel as if my dreadlocks fit me anymore, if that makes sense? I’ve changed a lot in the last 18 months, and I’m finally finding the confidence to be who I want to be. Sod what anyone else thinks… I don’t care if I’m a mass of contradictions. I need to do/look/be how I want.
And then I read Julianna’s from hello,serendipity post on why women desiring beauty is a beautiful thing and I realised that it’s OK to want to look beautiful. It’s ok to wear make-up, and do my hair and get dressed up. And honestly, right now? I don’t feel pretty, I hate my messy hair, and while I like the idea of dreadlocks, and maybe if mine were neater, tidier more perfect, but as they are, I just don’t feel very feminine.
So – I have the long and probably painful task of combing them out – not looking forward to that one! I’m going to make a start now, sitting on the sofa while the girls watch Peter Pan, as I’m not feeling very well right now.
