She wanted to see someone strong, someone independent, someone who has moved on.
She wanted you to sneak a look at herInstagrampage one day and realize what you have lost.
She wanted you to kick yourself for losing the best thing that had ever happened to you.

But there is so much more to it than that.
She changed her hair because she wanted something new.
She wanted to wipe the slate clean.

To think of this as a new beginning.
She wanted to see someone strong, someone independent, someone who has moved on.
She changed her hair because she needed a surge in confidence.

Losing you made her question her worth.
There were insecure nights where she wondered whether she wasnt pretty enough for you.
She stopped caring about what other people thought.
She stopped giving a fuck.
She changed her hair because she wanted something else to talk about, other than your relationship.
She wanted conversations to start withcomplimentsabout how damn good she looked with her new hair.
She wanted the focus off of the breakup and onto her beauty.
She changed her hair because she wanted to reinvent herself.
She wanted to make a statement.
That she is her own person.
That she can make her own happiness.
That she doesnt need anyone by her side to reach fulfillment.
Or maybe, she changed her hair because it made her happy.
Because she liked what it looked like.
Because she is allowed to spontaneously decide its time for a change.
Maybe, just maybe, it had absolutely nothing to do with you.
