"Mommy, why does Elsa let her hair down?"
Yes, why does she? A woman who wants to be "free" always lets her hair down. It's coiled up tight, restricted, and then with one swift move it cascades out and is flung about by a carefree wind. 8
I wish I knew what that feels like. For me, breaking free from expectations and being who I was meant to be looks more like unwrapping a scarf and throwing it into the wind, revealing a bald head.
Not quite the same effect.
The problem is that I need more visuals that reflect my experience. I need more "movie moments" in my head where a woman is standing bald and proud, letting the world see her skin instead of a wild rush of hair.
Maybe it's time for another photo shoot....
I'm happy to do the bald and free movie moments!!! You rock that bald head :-) xx
ReplyDeleteI can support and love, but I can't imagine truly how you feel. So easy to say "I have bad hair days... you're so lucky" -- but those day's can end with a shower and a new day. Cheers to YOU and how you carry this particular tribulation. Love you -- MOM
