I'm really excited for my hair to keep growing out. It's a slow process, but it's getting there. Long hair is something I really look forward to, especially being able to braid it or put it into a ponytail. I would love to be able to keep it loose, but have a small pony. Then, take that pony, and hang it over one of my shoulders. Not keeping one side of my head hair short, but keeping it all to one side.

cw: regret, child experience, "bullying"I have always wanted my hair longer, and I have tried to grow it out once before. I think many people just assumed I commit, and I was often remained of how bad it looked on me, how it looked like a mullet (derogatory), and how I should cut it. I am a people pleaser, so of course I eventually did. It took a very long time to try again, and since I am autistic, it also involved getting used to the physical feeling of hair again. It's something that was very overwhelming both times I have grown out my hair. I'm used to it now, but having to fight my neurodivergence and social expectations for who I was made it really difficult for me. It's why I feel proud of my hair, and I always will. I overcame the odds and I did what I wanted to do. It's why I feel so excited, because I didn't cut it again, and I won't. It's also why my anxiety gets really bad when I think about the possibility of losing it. Sorry for the info-dump, but if I'm going to be giddy about my hair I need to provide some context so I don't seem crazy.

Anyway, figured after typing all of that out I should provide an example of something I would do with my hair. Meet Leonie, one of my favorite Fire Emblem character designs, solely because of her hair. Disclaimer: Color is not a point of reference, orange would not look good on me.

Thank you for coming my TED Talk. Side note, a medication I was taking might have been worsening my depression. Of course my doc failed to tell me and I found out from a random pharmacist's assistant ๐Ÿ˜… how fun.

meow-hug I can really relate to the hair stuff, glad you've made it through the hard part.

Sorry for the info-dump,

peppino-shotgun Promise me you'll never apologise for infodumping again, fucker!!!! cat-trans

This post is somewhat relatable, as someone autistic with really dang long hair I can say it's awesome and you have lots to look forward to. Also the sensory aspect is irritating but not a dealbreaker ime.

My hair gets to a similar length, then once it gets a bit longer I'll chop it way down again (I get too warm with longer hair, too hot blooded and I prefer how my hair sits shorter) But it's a nice look. ayeaye
