“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”— Dr. Seuss
.
Ever felt like trying something new but didn’t because you were too afraid of what others might think?
.
Well I have. I’ve always wanted to try an undercut, cut my hair real short. But I was afraid that I couldn’t pull it off. More afraid of what others may say.
.
Growing up, I had a boy cut in primary school and was often associated to being a tomboy. I envied the girls with the more “girly” hairstyles.
.
20 years later, with much persuasion and reassurance from @nicksee, I finally found the courage to say fuck it. Let’s do it. So I cut my hair short, got an undercut, got some red highlights and embraced the edgy style I’ve always wanted to try out. While it did take some getting used to, I woke up this morning feeling liberated.
.
I think it’s about time our generation learn to cut the stereotypical bullshit and practice the open-mindedness that we crave and preach.
.
If a woman does not actually identify as a butch, don’t call her that just because she has short hair, muscles, tattoos, or whatever it is that you may perceive to be too “manly” for a woman.
.
Ladies, if you’ve ever wanted to try something bold. I say do it. Care less about the haters, care more about the love you have for yourself.

✌🏼 & ❤️
