WOW I have never been more happier and comfortable in my body in my life. It has been been over 2 months since I gave up on conforming to society's ideals of women, and embraced my body exactly as it is.
No shaving, minimal makeup, no hairstyling, nothing.
While I was very self conscious, at first, now I am more confident than I have ever been. I am not concerned in the slightest what anyone thinks of me (based on my appearance) and it is such a huge weight off my shoulders, that I really had no idea was there. I used to think that I didn't care what society thought, but I realise now that I actually did - at least a little in some ways.
It really is an unbelievable and liberating feeling.
I hope to inspire other women to keep their hair, and be proud of the body God gave you.
