They say time flies when you're having fun. But what about when you're knee-deep in anxiety about the future?
@jennieberrie These three months have flown by so fast. Didn't know I needed one until someone said I had a combover. Guess who's in town? #hairtransition ♬ original sound - 𖤐
Because let me tell you, those moments tick by at an alarming rate.
I’ve been in this weird limbo of overthinking and planning for what feels like forever. My days blur into one another, a constant cycle of worrying about jobs, relationships, and the general direction of my life. It's like I've been so focused on the horizon that I've completely missed the scenery along the way.
A glaring example of this is my hair. I swear it was just a few months ago that I was admiring its luscious length. Now, I’m staring at split ends and a desperate need for a trim. It’s a small thing, I know, but it’s a tangible reminder of how quickly time has slipped through my fingers.
In a way, it’s kind of ironic. While I’ve been stressing about the future, I’ve neglected the present. I’ve ignored the little joys and milestones because I was too busy anticipating what’s next. And now, here I am, with a head full of worries and hair that looks like it's been through a hurricane.
I guess it's time to take a step back. To appreciate where I am right now, even if it's messy and uncertain. Maybe a haircut is the perfect place to start. A fresh look can often lead to a fresh perspective.
And lucky for me, I have a friend who knows their way around a pair of scissors. Thank goodness for you, Liz! Your talent for transforming hair into art is seriously underrated.
So, here’s to embracing the present, one haircut at a time. And hopefully, one less worry at a time.
