Reading the title of the blog if any of you thought of an email attachment please raise your hands. (I did… Tch tch such corporate slaves)
Attachment is often taken as an emotional term where you form relationships with a thing, person or place which transforms into a habit. We form memories around it and its is our “safety net”.
I recently (two days ago to be precise) migrated from India to Australia. It came with its share of tears, goodbyes and promises to come back soon. You know, the usual. This meant letting go of the worldly attachments! I possibly cannot fit my entire lives collection in 40kgs, not even Super Man could. Following this came the emotional sobbing goodbyes to family. Now THAT is attachment alright. Saying bye is tough and tougher when its family and friends. That support system you are so used to now a distance away. Its tough. But worth it.
Since I was saying goodbye to a lot of things in life I thought it was apt to say goodbye to my long mane. This right here is important, why? I have hidden behind my long locks for ages. Been through the goth phase with it following the awkward gawky girl with boobs moments and then ofcourse the long hair suit me the most phase.
Basically, my name has always been synonymous to long hair.
But the times had come. After a million treatments to my hair (colouring, bleaching, razor cuts, ironing and more such torturous things) I decided it was time to move on. So, off I went to a hair stylist and for the first time in my life gave him full freedom to chop off whatever length he wanted.
Result? I realised I was not my long hair. I was and will always be me. Hiding behind my hair is and never will be the answer.
Attachments are super. Even the email ones. What is important is to know where to call it a day and where to continue.
Coming up, my adventurous life in Sydney and what I life has in store for me.
Stay tangled. xx
