It's OK to be Different

For the first time in my life i feel like i made a choice that wasn't influenced by society. Like i said, i've always wanted to have this kind of hair but what stopped me? It's the thought that society won't accept different and society has this specific criteria for beauty. But i'm happy that for once i did not succumb to the beauty standards of the world. And after doing this, inside i felt set free! Like i'm another step away from my insecurity.

For someone struggling with insecurity, this is a big deal. It's a big mountain that i climbed and that's why i feel so happy. Not everyone likes my hair. probably most people don't but i did't shave (1/3 of) my head for them. I did this for me.

Don't let the world dictate your appearance. As long as its fine in the eyes of God and it's not causing anyone to stumble, go for it! Do not be a prisoner of the standards of this world.

"People look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." 1 samuel 16:7

And i also find it funny how some people immediately think that it's a form of rebellion. Hahaha! I do believe many people conform to society because of fear of their criticism, and or rejection. And i do believe each person is different and will make different choices if given the opportunity and acceptance to be different:)
