#1 I grow for me, no one else. Thus, it is my enjoyment of the hair that counts, whether you think it is boring that I always keep it up in an updo is not of my concern.
#2 Seeking to find what my own ultimate length is it is in my own interest to start thinking and acting like an ultra-longhair already from the start. It is never too early to begin taking good care of my hair. And it is never too early to learn from those that have made the journey before me.
#3 My non-routine and benign neglect may look strange to the un-initiated outsider. "Why grow if you can never show it" and "Wouldn't it be better to have it cut short if it is in an updo most of the time". To that I refer to #1, I grow for me, not for the outside world, you may have your opinion, that doesn't sway my own conviction of what I want to do.
#4 My hair is mine to adorn in any way I find possible and appropriate; whether that is a plain and inconspicuous bun held with hairpins or decorated with hairsticks, blinged out forks and ribbons of colourful yarn. Again, #1, I do not grow for you and your appreciation, I grow for myself.
#5 Seeking to find my own ultimate length does not make me in any way, shape or form better than a fellow grower with other goals. Just as I ask her understanding of my sometimes boring ways (because the way of an ultra-longhair is by necessity slightly boring); I must offer my own understanding that she may want to play with colour or texture or other ways that are incompatible with my own goal.
#6 Accept and you shall be accepted; judge not and you shall not be judged; practice understanding and compassion with your fellow growers and you will be met with understanding and compassion in turn.
#7 Our goals all differ, none is better than the other, do not for a minute think your own is mentally or morally superior to that of another grower; affirming this gives you your own space to grow, both physically and metaphysically, while giving the same in return to your fellow on this journey.
