Going natural and staying natural was a HUGE step towards accepting myself. Basically I didn’t realize just how much of myself I hadn’t really accepted until I went natural

I just read this on the Nappturality.com forum:

Quote: Going natural and staying natural was a HUGE step towards accepting myself. Basically I didn’t realize just how much of myself I hadn’t really accepted until I went natural (at age 30), experienced the JOY of being perm-free, and started seeing other blacks’ negative reactions to my experience. It was one of those light-bulb moments that I felt deep in my soul: I AM NOT THE ONE WITH THE PROBLEM! THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ME PHYSICALLY! That has carried me from that day to this. It was a real revelation to enter my 40s and realize that a LOT of what I thought was about me wasn’t about me…

So tell me does this ring a bell? Is going Natural about self acceptance?
