Had my hair cut here and it feels good
Yesterday I had my hair cut at a cute Supercuts in town. This is my first haircut in the US since moving here in the summer of 2021. Between then and yesterday, I only had my hair cut when I flew back to my home country (Taiwan). While I can speak relatively comfortably at work (maybe? at least to my knowledge), there are still a lot of small things that I would find not straightforward or not easy. And when that thing is not life threatening, I might just circumvent it or eventually just procrastinate. Take the haircut for example, I would think about how to describe the style I want, what to chat during the process, how much to tip, etc.
Yesterday I decided to go for a haircut anyway, and it was so much more straightforward and easy than I thought. I have to admit I didn’t understand everything my stylist said during our small talk, but that is probably okay as well. I can just smile and try to respond as much as possible. Most importantly I got the haircut that I wanted and that feels good :)
When typing this, I realized I might, from time to time, overthink about small things, adding some sort of emotional burden each time I think about them. The emotional burden could be so small at first that I can't even notice it, but it builds over time, which finally leads to procrastination.
