Gave myself a buzz cut a couple months ago and it rocks I feel so light and free and am discovering styles I never would have considered as it slowly grows back out. Incredibly liberating experience to have 3 lbs of hair hit the floor but the experience continues now that I’m getting to be a pixie cut person. Months later and I still am addicted to this choice

I first shaved my head in 2017 because I wanted to do something bold with my body, something I had considered for 2 whole weeks before just doing it. Now, I haven’t cut my hair since November 2024 and my hair is in the pixie stage. When people, usually women, ask me about cutting my hair, I always tell them to do it at least once because it’s so liberating to reclaim your body in a very obvious but temporary way. It’s also nice to not worry about extensive care and maintenance. I’m not sure if I’m going to like having long hair again, but I’m going to give it another try.

I’ve never had my hair this short but I just had this urge to get rid of it all. It was a desire that had been building up for years and I started to feel like my long hair was like a wilted flower at the end of the summer.
Also I remember a bald friend telling me that if he had enough hair he would be experimenting with new looks all the time. So I took that to heart.

I just cut off like a foot of hair? Maybe 8 inches, I’m not sure? Anyway, hair is now in a shaggy bob and it used to go down past my bra band and I feel really generally good.
I def believe hair holds memories and other things and even though this was just inspired becUse I’m tired of having tangles in the winter and not a major life event I still feel a lot lighter.
Also showers are so easy and saving a ton of $ on shampoo and conditioner.
Do it!!

I was going through the Ignatian approach to education today (adapted from the Spiritual Exercises for those keeping track at home) and this tenet is just so good.
St. Ignatius says that a person, “ought to be more eager to put a good interpretation on a neighbor’s statement than to condemn it.Further, if one cannot interpret it favorably, one should ask how the other means it. If the meaning is wrong, one should correct the person with love; if this is not enough, one should search out every appropriate means through which, by understanding the statement in a good way, it may be saved.”
This is very Hanlon’s razor (never attribute to malice what you can attribute to stupidity/ignorance) and I just feel like having a curious posture like this is a major slay and makes us better people

Like look at this shit. Just kinda sick tbh. The Eastern church invented maximalism which is just very slay for them (even if you aren't into God or whatever I feel like you can enjoy old buildings with tons of art everywhere)
