Short hair: cut 3000 troubled threads.

The way for the soul to lose weight: cut off three thousand troubles.

I finally cut off my long tangled hair a few days ago.

When the scissors were on my hair, the barber asked me, do you want to cut them?

I said, you cut it.

With a click, a wisp of waist-long hair fell quietly from under the auricle. The first time I cut it, I didn't respond, and the barber's next action was much faster. In less than half a minute, all the hair in the back was scattered all over the floor.

Curly flaxen hair huddled under the chair in a mess, mixed with other unwashed hair bundles on the floor, as strange as garbage.

Strangely, a minute ago, it was still growing on my head, and it felt like a big cluster. Although it is dry and dull without regular care and feels like hay, it is still a part of my body. It seems that I will never touch my tail with one hand, which makes people feel nostalgic. That's why I refuse to cut my hair.

There are still water drops on the wet hair roots. I used to wet my back all the way along the tip of my hair. Now it drops directly on the neck, which makes people tremble. I looked up and suddenly saw a brand-new self with short hair scattered in the mirror.

Some are unfamiliar, some are familiar, and it seems a lot old-fashioned. The last time I saw such long hair was more than two years ago.

My hair is soft. If I don't take care of it, it's easy to knot, roll it into a pinch and it won't tear. Often at that time, I will make up my mind to cut my hair short and let it grow back.

Then, every time I look in the mirror, I feel particularly anxious. Just like measuring height, it is estimated that it has grown a few centimeters after today.

Wait and wait, before you know it, you cross the waistline and let it droop freely, and the fragrance of your hair comes to your nose and shines all over your body.

But it is undeniable that at the moment when the long hair was cut off, the whole person seemed to be much lighter from body to soul.

I'm crazy about long hair.

When I was a child, adults were busy and their hair grew fast, so I couldn't care less. My head is always in a mess, so I am dragged and cut into a boy's inch. Until junior high school, their hair did not cover their ears.

The little girls in other people's homes are wearing beautiful hair bands, colorful, and I can only tremble in the wind with a few strands of upturned hair, which I envy.

From then on, I became attached to long hair.

Until I graduated from college and worked for four or five years, my hairstyle basically didn't change.

Only halfway through, when your hair is seriously damaged, will you go to the barber shop for a haircut. Don't forget to tell the barber to be merciful, cut as much as you can and keep it as long as you can. Remember not to cut too much.

This half-length hair is not short, and people who have been close to it have many jokes: after so many years, there have been so many changes, but this hairstyle is similar year after year and has a special liking.

In fact, it's a little yearning to see many people with neat short hair around them.

The hair is fine, but it is eye-catching, fluffy and full, and it looks like people are in high spirits.

It's not like I have long hair over my shoulders from adolescence to maturity. Even if it is dry and hot by the sun, I just put it behind my head, and there is little air in my hair, which is refreshing and clean.

Instead, she looks like a little old lady, either tightly coiled at the roots of her hair or simply tied to the back of her head with cowhide tendons. The slight pain caused by scalp pulling has even become a habit, just as I am always in a state of melancholy, self-restraint, opinionated and unable to let go completely, and my heart is completely open.

Li Bai wrote in Song of Qiu Pu:

White hair three thousands of feet, sorrow like a beard.

I don't know where to get autumn frost in the mirror.

Since ancient times, sadness has always been implied as three thousand troubles, which is not unreasonable.

Deviate from people, cut your hair, cut off your feelings, have nothing to worry about, cut your hair and you were born. Buddha said: Heaven and hell are all made by heart, and 3,000 troubles are also made by heart.

The obsession with things outside your body is not a bondage to yourself.

From small to large, from the past to the present, the troubles of study, work, emotion, destination, future and growth are sometimes like wisps of long hair, which are entangled in my heart and cannot be separated.

Life is full of ups and downs, the body is running forward, but the soul is stuck in place by obsession. Money, fame, status, and many unattainable lives are unwilling to hold in their hands. Although you have changed your color, lost your luminosity, are moldy and smelly, and are rotting, you still refuse to give up and refuse to let go of yourself who is desperately chasing.

Lin Yutang: Wise giving up is better than foolish persistence.

Most of people's persistence comes from the ups and downs of the past, and they have not got what they want after all their efforts.

So, I can't get it and I can't let it go. Finally, I turn into an inner evil force and suffer day and night.

People are rational and savvy, but they are easily controlled by emotions and desires that cannot be freely sent and received.

Pursuit is good, but knowing how to let go is the right way to realize it.

In the busy chase, you can stop to catch your breath and ask yourself, if you give up your obsession, will there be 3 thousand troubles in the future?

Letting go is comfortable, letting go is worry-free.
