Well I PICTURE it all the time, but the sensible part of my personality keeps hissing 'it'll never get past BSL!'. I never had it longer than BSL before. But I got to BSL this time around in what feels like no time at all, so maybe I can get to waist. As for hips...that's just a far off fantasy!
Starting over current length: APL+.. GOAL: BACK TO HIP
I 'call' it bald, because I had the bright idea to first BLEACH and then (oh, under two hours later) DYE my very fine, curly hair, bright red. *sigh*
I ended up cutting all of the colored hair off within a year, so while I wasn't bareheaded, I really did start with nothing, as none of the colored hair counts, now.
And I"m SO impatient, too! *sigh* It's a good learning experience for me, that's for danggone sure!

This is an interesting post to me as it touches upon a problem I've been having: namely, convincing myself that I can have what I want, though I can see only the barest outlines of the final result.
It's not that I can't envision myself with waist length, or tailbone, or even classic hair; it's just that I can't envision the details, because I'm so nervous about attaining what I want: having those lengths be healthy, with a thick, blunt hemline, and either relatively straighter (my waves pulled down by the length) or curlier (more ringlet-y) than what I have now. I'm going to have to make some tricky decisions as I grow (layers? strict no-cones regimen? encourage wave or not?) and that makes it difficult to envision me being happy with my final result.
To make an analogy, it's kind of like asking yourself if you can see yourself (graduating from school? getting married? owning a business? buying a house?) in the future. Of course you can see yourself doing those things, in a general sort of way. It's just that the prospect of the decisions that must be made along the way starts overshadowing that image of final contentment. At least, that's what it's like in my thought process.

Im one of those lucky ones who has to grow about 6" more hair to hit landmarks than most because of my height. My hair grows pretty fast- I was about 1" from brushing BSL when LHC came back up and now Im a good 2" below BSL even though I trimmed about 1/2" off in there somewhere, but Im still like 6" away from waist. It seems like BSL and waist are only a few inches apart for most.
So, yeah, it seems like I will never get there, but I have had hip length locks before so hopefully I can be patient enough to do it again
what an excellent poll, thank you!
I thought recently that my hair was not growing and shoulder length takes foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I am now approaching bsl and for the first time i feel like my hair has grown and i can see my goals, i just worry about shedding, fairytales, growth rest etc.

I can totally see the waist length hair. It's not that far off in the future, I don't think. Probably just about 6 months. I can remember how it feels, how it looks. I have to just be patient a little while longer!

I'm the opposite. I think I have the weirdest, shortest torso and tallest hipbones in the universe. I was just at BSL and now I'm like 2" from can I call this waist. My bra is like 4" above my hip bones, lol.
But I will probably have to stand behind you at the rock concert, so there's that.
I answered "Nope, I have been there so it shouldn't be a problem"

Yup.Ive been at a stand still for about 3 months now, had an inch trim and I'm happy I did it, but I do wonder if my hair will ever start growing again or if this is as long as its going to get, especially since Ive been on a medication and I stopped growing around the same time I started taking it.I might have to be on it for along time, possibly forever.Positively though I know I'm doing alot less damage to my hair so I hope that helps my hair to grow and not break off as fast.I think I might start growing again, because my shed has decreased recently, and it seems like I grow length faster when I'm not shedding as much.I will be ecstatic when I reach the bottom of my bra strap, yes maybe in my dreams.
