There’s No Going Back Now

I went to get a haircut this week after not getting one in over 6 months. My hair was unusually long and maintaining it became a hassle. So, after constant days of looking like I just got out of bed even though I tried making it not so, I relented and went inside the shop.

The hair salon is one I often go to, so they’re familiar with my desired hairstyle. Because I haven’t been there in half a year, the hairstylist asked me if I was certain I wanted to cut 90% of my hair and go with the same buzzcut I often had. Without hesitation, I said I was certain.

“There’s no going back now,” said the hairstylist.

That sentence stuck with me for the remainder of my appointment.

In the last 6 months, I delayed getting a haircut along with other things. I neglected what was important to me and heavily paid the price. Opportunities I once had have long since dissipated. And even now, I regret not taking advantage of the time that was given to me.

Oh well, there’s no going back.

If those opportunities are gone, I must create new ones. They might be better, or they might be worse. But they’re opportunities nonetheless.

After my haircut appointment was finished, I thanked the hair stylist and left.

My head feels breezier, but I feel warmer.


Here’s my inspiration for the day.
