👩🏾‍🦱 AFRO 👩🏾‍🦱

My search is for a balance between spontaneity and patience, especially when it comes to my hair care and styling. I want to make more conscious choices, but I also realize that spontaneity and playfulness are deep needs for me. This often expresses itself through my hair.

I am looking for a broader way to integrate spontaneity into my life. I am discovering how to make healthy choices without losing my sense of spontaneity.

I’m gradually letting go of the most fragile parts, mostly the lighter sections. In about two months, I’m curious to see where I’ll be— by then, it will probably have been five six years since my big chop, when I decided to take a more conscious approach to my hair care.

Along the way, I’ve developed cognitive skills like patience, self-compassion, research, process-oriented thinking, and learning how to quiet my toxic parent mode more often. Invisible achievements that I would like to learn to be proud of.
