It’s been two months since I had my dreadlocks cut off and I’ve really seen such a difference to the way people treat me.
People are more more open, seeming less scared. Groups of people would have a mental barrier up with me that no longer exist, and the only difference is my appearance.
So now life seems to be a little easier in this shallow world, maybe job hunting will be easier, when I need to do that.
One point esti made last night is that, looking ‘normal’, you socialise with different people, many people who are not even worth knowing, like part of your identity is now gone, leaving you a little open to the crap that was being blocked put before.
I don’t doubt that it was a good decision, and much positive will come of it, but it’s an interesting change.
I’m on the metro, heading to downtown Madrid, no bag to weight me down, had a good night’s sleep, tine to explore!
