Mental Health Monday: Bad Haircuts

Ever looked back on a haircut and thought...wut...was...I thinking?! Yup. Me too. One of my summer projects is sorting pictures from the past 10 years. I’ve noticed how vastly different my hair lengths, colors, and styles have been over the years and some of the pictures make me seriously cringe (see first picture in particular). But I think of my mental heath journey and it’s no different. I look back at some of my past behaviors while learning to navigate my OCD and I want to crawl into a deep hole in the crust of the earth and never come out. Like all the times I tried to set up guys I liked with my close friends. But I’ve learned from those mistakes and made changes. I’m sure I will look back in ten years on some of my current hairstyles and cringe. I’ll also look back at some of my current OCD behaviors and sigh and shake my head (which is a step up from wanting to die in a hole). And hopefully I’ll be a little wiser. It’s a constantly evolving process. Maybe by age 90 I’ll have it all figured out...and have the perfect haircut.
