people are commenting about his hair, but i STILL don't think that this is what it's about...

it's not just about hair... it's a thought about the fact that other people's opinions can make us reflect on ourselves, on the world around us, on life (sorry for my english, I'm from Sardinia... Italy)

Non è solo a proposito dei capelli... è un pensiero sul fatto che l'opinione altrui può farci riflettere su noi stessi, sul mondo che ci circonda, sulla vita

That person obviously wasn’t here for the Beck era or they would have no complaints 😂 but this is a hilariously elegant way of responding to the people who need to mind their own beeswax! It’s your hair, you grew it, and it’s crazy and disgusting that some people feel entitled to it 😅🤢

“Forever your adoring servant.” ate honestly. It’s just my opinion.

Your approach to people’s entitlement to your body commends you as a person.

The awkward moment, when 90% of the comments do the exact same thing that this letter satirised in the first place..

I have always felt sorry for famous people in this respect. They cannot be themselves without having to explain themselves

This was such a beautifully written piece about change, time and reason that I almost forgot what this article was about. Your, by the way beautiful in any length, hair.

I just recently stumbled upon this app and I must say, your writings are the most interesting to read, especially to learn (like me) more advanced english that wasn’t taught in english class in my german school. So thank you and I’m looking forward to more!

I recently started following you on Instagram because Halsey is my favorite artist. I apologize for not being aware of your existence prior to your relationship with her. But here I am not, reading you talk to us about your hair! I'm not even sure why I was curious to read your thoughts on your hair - and whether it should be long or short - but I did. It's 12 am on this side of the planet, I am sipping coffee to keep me awake because I have an article to write about reason, but for some reason, my mind was curious to read your article about your hair. And I actually enjoyed reading it! I can't wait to read more of your reflections in the future.

P.S. Do what you want with your hair - and your life; well, it's not like you need our permission or approval anyway...I wish you the best!

It's not about them trying to change you for what they like more. Instead, you should use dialogue, present ideas and if you are convinced by one of the other person's ideas, decide to carry it out and be the one who chooses to change.

You must be the one who really wants to wear short or long hair. Its your hair!

Sorry for my English, it's still a bit bad.

I hope I've helped 🤍

You had me at both "alas" and "ephemeral." I have not seen those two words used together in an age of elves or man. Or gnomes. Perhaps a ghoul or two.

And honestly, you look like *insert any handsome deity* 24/7 anyway and can pull off any hair length. You were literally leopard-spotted and still the prettiest. However, it's your phrasing that wins my heart every time.
