I thought I was in charge of my life, but now I’m not sure. Was I wrong to think that changing how I looked could make me feel better? I’m not sure if I should embrace my new look or follow what everyone else does. One thing is for sure: I need to work out my feelings and learn to love myself, no matter how long my hair is.

I’ve learnt from this that real strength comes from inside. I need to focus on my own happiness and not let other people tell me how valuable I am. No matter what people say, I’ll own my new look, short cut and all.
