“With my body, I am most insecure about my facial bone structure and often find myself using my hair has a means of covering my face when I feel insecure. I oftentimes feel vulnerable when my hair is up, or when I’m being photographed from a side angle. It’s funny because I am complimented most for my hair, but it has gradually become a natural way to hide this insecurity. People tell me to never cut my hair because it is beautiful…I don’t cut my hair because, without it, I would feel exposed.”

 

I think we can all relate to this feeling… We tend to pick ourselves apart, even for the smallest things. I hate pictures of myself, which is why you’ll often find me behind the camera. Maybe one day that will change… maybe one day Vic will get a pixie cut. Maybe not. I encourage you to think about what makes you vulnerable, and how that affects your perception of yourself. Maybe it’s time for all of us to get a pixie.
