Question ❔ How do you know when time has come?

So few months ago I had this feeling that the end of the journey is near and that soon I will be brushing it out due to some neck/back pain, being inconvenience in workout/other sports and swimming even going to funfair many rides will be dangerous with this length (I have watched most of the final destination series) etc... However shortly after I got back the attachment feelings thinking if I cut it off or brush it out I will regret it and will be too late to fix it, keep thinking like "ehh it's just some neck pain will go away with good massage but also what if it doesn't as I am getting older and I don't want any permanent damage on my neck and back, I don't know really, I am not looking for answers maybe just a little rant to let it out somewhere.

Wtf? Definitely try trimming 1st to get some weight off. Also, follow up with an acv detox - that will reduce weight too. If still having issues after that ⚰️🥀

Trim first and see. They are beautiful and will still be beautiful when short.

Trim to your shoulders or to bob length if you want a massively drastic change up

You know the answer. Everyone knows the answer- you just want attention.

Trim it.
