"Hair holds memories"
A saying that I've heard more commonly in recent years
Hold the trauma you've experience, the hands that combed through it, that loved and hated it
My hair is my self expression
Reveals who I am as a person
With each trim, or lack there of, it tells a story of childhood, coming of age, life
I still have an uneven-ness of hair from when I went ham on my hair with a pair of scissors as a child
Despite all the attempts to fix it, it's still there
"Despite everything, it's still you"
A quote from one of my favorite video games that sticks with me
Even with each haircut: bad or beautiful, short or long, black or colorful
When I look at the mirror, despite all the changes
It's still me
