Today I've finally cut my hair. Most of it was dead, dry and had many split ends. I have been abusing my hair for about two years, kept bleaching and frying it with hot tools. I never really took care of it. I didn't care that it was such a hard job to comb or that I lost alot of hair everyday, I only cared to maintain the length of it and that it looked good. At one point I got really frustated. It starts getting heavy and it took me a lot of time and effort to untangle my hair every morning.So this whole point of the story isn't actually about my hair. It's about being attached to things you KNOW they aren't healthy for you. My long hair may haved looked good from far but when you really looked at it, you could see the dead split ends. I think most of you can relate that when we're comfortable with something, it's really hard to let go. We have to learn to cut off the things that aren't helping you to stay "healthy". You can relate this to maybe a relationship, bad habits or even your past. You know it doesn't help you "grow" and the only thing good about it is maybe how it looks from a distance. People can say "oh you guys look so cute as a couple!" but they don't know what's going on IN the relationship. They may not know that the relationship isn't helping you grow as an individual person. It makes you frustrated and it becomes a heavy burden. You try to "untangle" or work things out but you're tired of doing that every single day. It's your choice to actually go to the barber and trust God to use His scissors and cut off the dead ends. It takes some patience to grow back as you want, but it will be healthy and it will grow faster than before. In the beginning you may be sad but eventually you're happy that you've made that descision. God does all the work, it's just our job to hand Him the scissors and to trust Him in what He's doing. Let go, let God. Have patience, everything will be beautiful on its time. Love, Yin
