Random post, but hey ho.
When I first joined LHC, I was feeling really down and depressed about my hair. I was so silly that I would cry about how much I disliked it. I know, pathetic right?
I came to the conclusion that putting myself in the right state of mind will benefit me so much.
I can't afford to be wasting my time being miserable about something I shouldn't be miserable about. So, I started to have a talk with myself, and telling myself the things I like about my hair, and that I already have a good starting point on my "hair journey". So my hair wasn't as nice as it was before, but you have to deal with things like that in life. As a solution, I started to list things that have vastly improved about me from when my hair was better (i.e. my personality is stronger and more admirable, my intelligence has increased a lot and I'm getting good grades at school, and my general appearance is a lot better from back then since I've lost a lot of weight and my face is better for some reason).
I have even had reassurance about my hair from my friends and family (not that I went round asking for reassurance or anything) who have told me that my hair is "lovely", "really nice", "in good condition" (even though it's not, lol!!) and stuff, which made me so happy. Seriously, even the slightest compliments will surprise me and make me smile. :)
You know, our insecurites CAN just be something vicious playing around in our minds, and no where near as worse as we think they are. I've told myself that I finally LIKE my hair, as do so many other people, and that I don't care what other stuck-up and snobby people say - because nobody is perfect!
My theory is that if you can't be content at the beginning of a journey, then you probably won't be content during (or even after) it either. If you keep being extremely miserable, bitter and critical about something, then you'll never ever satisified; regardless of whether your hair has improved.
/end ramblings. :D
