My first ever pixie undercut for curly hair style. I never thought I’ll cut my hair this short.

I’ll always be the quirky one. 🧿 Sharing my biggest insecurity since I was in grade school.

Nahihiya ako sa buhok ko. Lahat na yata ng pangpaayos ng buhok ginamit ko na noon. Rebond dito, rebond doon.

Sobrang nakakapagod. The fact that I have to always keep my hair “straightened” para hindi ako mahirapan sa pagaayos.

Then, quarantine happened. I was tempted to shave my head so I can start fresh with me embracing my curls. Kaso hindi ko nagawa kasi natakot ako baka di ko kayanin.

But then, Nico told me “Ano ka ba. Diba sabi natin sa isa’t isa na what we do to ourselves eh para sa sarili natin hindi para sa ibang tao? Eh it makes you feel good eh. Paki nila?”

That’s how my mindset and perspective changed. That what you do, what you become, and what you post in public is for YOU not for anyone else.

Make YOURSELF happy. Yung after ilang years you’ll have this chance to look back and tell yourself you regret nothing because you followed your heart.💙

Finally, embracing this change. 💙🧿

Do you have a similar story? What are your insecurities that you’ve finally conquered? 💙
