  • #TBT My hair has been a source of disappointment and delight for as long as I could remember. Some days I looked in the mirror in amazement over it and other days I cried my eyes out. It’s gone through every possible stage. Long. Short. Long. And short again. I’ve been with and without bangs. It’s been dyed red, brown, blond and blue-black. I’ve had highlights - auburn and gold. It’s been wavy, curly, crimped and ironed straight. My hair has been associated with femininity and beauty. For years I hid behind it. I had short hair through most of my 20s and when it finally grew out, I swore I’d never go short again. But 6 months ago I said, fuck it and chopped it all off. And I love the freedom of short hair. So when I hear things like, “short hair isn’t feminine” or “women with short hair aren’t as attractive” and even 🙄😒 “women with short hair are usually gay.” It frustrates me. Because it’s just hair. It doesn’t make me, break me or define me. What a wonderful thing it is to let go and reject gender norms and beauty standards. 🧚🏼‍♂️
  • If you’re sad, happy, angry, tired... whatever the mood, just add more lipstick & handle yo shit. Today I’m wearing 3 different shades of pink lipstick 💄 👄
  • Sometimes when I need a miracle, I look at this kid and realize I’ve already created one. 💙
  • I may look calm but in my head, I’ve stabbed you in the eye with a paper clip at least 12 times.
