Life is not only about self improvement, setting goals and philosophical questions. Life can be mundane, unfair and boring. One moment you feel so powerful, you make plans on how to improve your life and become better each day and the next you feel hopeless with a striped towel wrapped around your wet hair thinking whether you can accomplish the most difficult task of your life; to straighten them.
If you think about it, I spend 3 hours per week, 12 hours per month, 144 hours per year! For what? Hair! Because Im “damned” with curly, frizzy, unruly hair. With those spoiled bastards that demand my attention every day.
I find the courage and the strength to do seriously more demanding stuff but blow drying my hair? Nuh-uh no way. This is my Everest.
If you think your hair is hard to control....
How about the many (often conflicting) I's inside of you each gaining control for a moment, and most of which cannot agree on any unitary aim or vision:

Lower Self: The Ten Thousand Is
The lower self is a collection of attitudes, dreams, and mechanical habits that dwell within a man. There is no't an unchangeable ‘I’ that is always the same. Rather, a man's many thoughts, emotions and sensations are his ‘many I`s’, which are traditionally numbered as ten thousand. As the ten thousand I's randomly assert themselves, each one mistakenly takes itself to be 'real I', and moreover, constantly interferes with the effort to simply Be Present. Jesus Christ said, "Thine enemies shall be they of your own household."
Buddha ignores the many I's and defeats Mara. (3rd C. BC.)

!! AND YOU COULD ALWAYS WEAR A WIG, LOL !!
I think the ten thousand Is are more likely to behave than my hair...
I really enjoyed the info about the Is! I started feeling a bit paranoid here though with all this population trying to gain control ...
Maybe if I extinguish the I who wants straight hair, my problem will be solved!
(LOL for the wig!!)
Or you can just wait patiently until curly hair is back in fashion. After all, I'll bet that dude in your last photo paid a small fortune for his wig to give him the "curly hair" look!
You gave me some courage there thanks!! hahah :))
Nice works!!! cool!!!
Thank you!!
At women all is simple: long hair needs to be cut, short hair
it is necessary to increase, straight hair should be curled, and curly hair should be straightened. )))
hahaha thats true! we are a bit unstable.. :P

And once again you summarize my existence so well. Why are those little trivial things so hard sometimes. I find brushing my teeth before the anticipation of bed to be my Everest most every night. I just want that cozy bed. I can spend a day of being wonder woman and getting so much accomplished but come time for the urgency of bed and the brushing of teeth seems more like a pulling of them.
ahahaha I totally understand!! Same here :P brushing my teeth is an exhausting procedure :P Those little thing can turn into the biggest nightmares :P
Oh God!
I agree :P
