About a week ago one of my good friends who has dreadlocks (we started them around the same time) said he was thinking about cutting his dreads in maybe the next week or month... Well ever since that I've been having dreams of cutting my dreads. 98% of the time I don't like the dream. I wake up in shock and grab my hair, then a big feeling of relief washes over me. But I have a feeling...that in one of my dread cuttin dreams, I was a little happy with it. Anyways. I've had my dreads for almost 2 years. I've been thinking about cutting them, what they mean to me, and why I have them allllll day. I guess the reasons about cutting them are because I just really want change. Also, I love acting, and when I'm in plays at school when the real performances come up...it's always the same old hairstyle...a bun. And wigs don;t really work because I have to much hair. It doesn;t fit! I also feel that their time has come. --but has it? One of my many reasons for loving my dreadlocks is that I feel they attract good people. Is this really bad? I've met so many great friends with my dreadlocks. I know I can find good ones though without them of course.. but it's just a lot easier. Does anyone know what I mean? This is no wayy my only reason for having them.. it's all so detailed. ahh I'll write more later.. I don;t know what to do. and it probably doesnt help that i'm going to get my period soon. so i'm hoping these feelings will pass ! THANKSSSSSSSSS
yup. know exactly what you mean. don't cut em. you will regret it. you'll learn to be ok with it. but you'll regret it.
cut mine once long ahggo and was pretty traumatized by it..lol all i'll say is..u fdeel you meet more better ppl with em, i find thats true too but how many have ya met just the past couple years, and hoew many more havent ya met yet.. tonight before bed..cuddle with your dreads, dont envission cutting them, or not, instead, try to picture your life without them, ...and growing pold wioth them..try comparing how youd picture your life progressing then choose where you hope to be someday
its funny, i had a dream last night that i had cut my dreads. i remember being extremely upset and crying over how i could ever have done that to myself, then i woke up and i thought they were gone. i was so relieved they were still there lol. that dream was really frightening. i didnt actually realize till then how important my dreads are to me. i dont think you should cut. you have to be 100% sure of that decision before you go through with it.
