Struggle

I've been struggling lately with how short my hair actually is. I don't like short curly hair on me... I guess it's growing on me a little but then I see pictures of beautiful long locks and I just want to jump into a time machine and fast forward five years from now so it can be long again. Anyways, whenever I'm feeling particularly down about my cut, I like to look at pics reminding me why I did this. Here are some good ones. This was taken about twenty or so days before I chopped my hair:

My ends are terrible! For those who can't really tell how split they are, let's compare it to a pic I have from exactly one year ago from that picture. 

Now can you see? My ends were fuller, thicker, and about the same length... A YEAR AGO! The first pic is proof to me that I did the right thing. Ultimately my ends are going to look even better than the above pic here. Notice how my hair was straight in both? I never had confidence that my curly hair was beautiful because of all the relaxers I've gotten in the past. They made my hair a strange texture so I always wanted to straighten it for fancy events. I realize now how wrong that mentality sounds so it really is like I am a new person. Soon, I will have curly hair the same length as the above picture and it will healthy and strong.

Day 11 of the struggle. But I know its worth it.
