I like to philosophize. I wanted to say I often philosophize, but what is often…you know? I like to philosophize. I am also quite impulsive. I discover something, an idea, a club, a way of thinking, a person, and I get completely absorbed in it. Most of the time my interest is short and intense, but every now and then it is also permanent. How do I know that changing from 'straighthead' to 'nappyhead' is not another short intense love? Am I not someone who just likes to fool herself because otherwise she finds it all too boring? Or am I just someone who likes to try things out with 100% courage and often succeeds? I don't know.
Yet I think, secretly and with a certain stubbornness, that I will always remain curly. I have changed as a person since I went curly (sounds weird, going curly). Like 180 degrees. Worrying about what others think of choices that are important to me? Interesting but not really. Delving into the spiritual, in addition to the superficial? Yep, completely the new me. Taking myself a lot less seriously? Yes!!! You get a lot out of thinking, but every now and then you have to accept, as far as I'm concerned, that you will never know exactly how the world and life work.
Another reason I think I will remain nappy forever is that the most surprising people completely agree with my choice. The very people who I thought would hate my 3-centimeter-frizzy-head, have responded incredibly positively to it. People say that I am now really myself as I should be. Whatever that may mean. It sounds very nice anyway. Yesterday I put on a wig, just for a change. Although the wig looked very nice on me (long, black, straight hair, think Brazilian hair), to my surprise I was told a few times that I am much nicer with my short curls. And that while I was quite insecure about my choice.
I have to say that it feels really good to stand so strongly behind a decision. Accepting uncertainties is so relieving. At least relieving for my shoulders. I dare say that I have reached adulthood. I have dreaded for a long time to belong to the adult 'boring' world, but it is slowly creeping in, not even consciously.
Funny how much an adventure with your hair can unleash.
