Wow, You're So Brave
That's a comment I've got a lot over the past few weeks. I dyed my hair purple and cut it much shorter than it's been in years. It's really short (but not the first time I've gone so short).
Amazing how doing that little thing has people telling me I'm brave.
It's hair. It's not forever. I can change it any time I want. It grows back. It does not have a lasting effect on my life. But things I've experienced in my past have often had lasting effects.
A friend said something that makes so much sense. People are affected by what they see. So my hair is "in their face" and a reality.
Most people want courage to do things. Maybe because I've experienced so much struggle that I've overcome, I find something like this easy to do. I'm showing people that I'm courageous enough to face things. Maybe people's reactions are less about aesthetics (they either love or hate it), and more about facing their own demons.
