So wednesday will mark two weeks since my bc. I just donned it out in public this past weekend. A lot of people were shocked I cut my hair and I got a lot of " it looks good on you though" which I think was their way of trying not to hurt my feelings. I also have concluded that those who just didn't like it, didn't comment at all but was just like oh wow you cut your hair and left it at that. Two compliments I appreciated were from a fellow natural and a stranger. While most were positive, some ignorance had to creep in there too. Someone told me that they like it and they believe that style only looks good on dark skin women. Then this same person started in with jokes. I just don't care anymore. I need that the men were probably going to hate it because all of their wives/gfs have long hair. Well thankfully I'm not married to them and mines doesn't have a problem with my hair or letting me be me. I'm glad I made the decision to cut it. I most certainly don't need anyones approval and I'm starting to appreciate that I look different than everyone else. Come to think of it, I guess I simply broke out of the Stepford Wives Club and it feels good to be an individual. My only concern now is making sure it grows out healthy.

You sound like you have high self- esteem and a good support system that is wonderful! There are a lot of people who still feel the need to fit in, instead of stand out. It's not that we want to be seen, but seen as individuals with our own personalities and likes. I love the true me, and actually find it humorous when people try to figure me out, because in reality it shouldn't be all that confusing. I mean this is who we really are.
