“I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
without ever having felt sorry for itself.” - #dhlawrence #selfpity 📝
Less is more: I have always been inspired by the community of women who take ownership of their femininity by shaving their own heads - a subculture of “carefully structured baldness”, as Lily Avnet says. So, I am channeling a bit of G.I. Jane with a dab of V for Vendetta, and maybe with a sprinkle of Sinéad O'Connor. —
I have spent the last few years shaving or cutting my own hair as an act of resistance, a way to empower feminism, and channel self-hood and agency. ✊🏼
Yesterday morning, I decided to shave my head - completely - in our bathroom. It felt like the best way to let go and move forward after such a tremendous loss in my life. It was my own act of self-authorship and self-ownership, to reclaim my sense of self as a woman whose body, style, gender identity, sexuality, and presence have been over-surveyed. —
I am a woman. I am a lesbian woman. I use the pronouns she/her/hers. There has been a tremendous sense of freedom in shaving my own head, moving away from socio-cultural constructs, what society views as beauty or perceives as feminine, as “woman”. —
Since I started my journey as an “academic”, I began exploring my truest sense of self and making decisions that reflected the most natural embodiment of who I am, and how I want to be seen as a person in this world, this was not an act of pop culture. —
The coolest part about this - I’ve gotten so much unwavering support from other women, mentors, peers, friends, family — from my academic/sober/personal communities — amazingly overwhelming. It was a reminder of how (we) women continue to empower and support each other.
🖤
I decided to change the game. No rules. Letting go. 🎧🎙✂️📖
