I used to spent a lot of time styling my hair
every strand needed to be perfectly placed
with every flow of hot air I blew on it
and the round prickly brush
combing through the red locks
clawing it’s way to perfection
only satisfied when perfection was achieved
in my eyes
but I noticed, that with every minute passing throughout the day
my hair would go it’s own way
with every drop of humidity that fell on the top of my head
there would be a hair finding it’s way out of its supposed position
and I would loath myself for it
I couldn’t control it
I couldn’t be controlled
so,
one day
I decided to let go
let my hair run it’s own course
let her decide what she wanted to do
and as a result,
my hair would look even better
and I would feel better
