i’ve struggled with my hair and my body all my life. i’m not happy when it’s short and i’m not happy when it’s long. i realize my problems are within me. not my hair.

all i can say is … make it however you want. forget the outside influences. no one looks the same. no one feels the same. try styling that fits your hair, whether it be only putting product in the bangs, or the sides, the top, whatever. same thing with curling or straightening or whatever. don’t rely on online tutorials because you are in charge of how it will ultimately look. i know they can be useful but it’s all up to you, whether or not you like it. that’s nothing to be ashamed of, and it gives you a chance to create your own look. always remember that no one sees you like you see you. we are fixated on our so called imperfections. but you can be absolutely perfect in every way, to anyone, all the time, and still not see it. believe me. you will be okay no matter what you do.
