Haircut
Trying to understand the world and feelings and everyone else is really exhausting. It's much simpler though, when seen through the lens of Christianity. To have that sense of liberation and freedom however, takes work.
Jesus makes it bearable- life's bearable because of Him because when I don't understand I trust Him anyway. And when I find it hard to trust- I cry to Him, frustrated, even angry and He makes everything alright. Though nothing's really resolved. But I can't help feeling trapped sometimes. I get angry and frustrated and reckless and then I inflict myself. Whenever I feel like I can't do anything or resolve all these complicated emotions, I resort to cutting my hair.
When it feels like I can't do anything, doing this one thing seems make me feel like I have control again.
I think, as humans, we all have that need to have sense of control and we feel so lost and often angry, when we don't have it. I'm curious to know how you guys cope.
words and photo all mine. i don't recommend cutting your hair after every major emotional crisis, like me. watching a good movie or climbing a mountain might help😄

When I don’t understand, I opt for taking a step back, accepting things (or emotions) the way they are, just watching and wondering, like a child.
My little Self always wants control, because it doesn’t feel safe. But there’s the greater part of me, that trusts and loves and knows that everything is basically good.
The world is magical through the lens of just sitting back and watching without judgement. Takes some practice though, I know that ^^
But I’m happier this way, and it’s easier to find solutions when I’m not too entangled in the the problem anymore.
Totally agreeing with you that it does take quite a lot of practice to process and accept things the way they are😄 to try and cope i do let myself feel whatever it is that i feel and process the feelings slowly, and not to force myself to take an action to try to solve it (which i usually do since i'm a very solution- oriented person, INTJ and all) because i realized that sometimes i just need to feel it and sooner or later, it will be okay. thank you for sharing Ana❤️
