I thought I was pass how Korea made me feel and over all the insecurities it gave me until I had to head out to boxing today. I had pink hair and it'd be their first time seeing it. I'm very much a familiar face there with everyone and am super comfortable but I still felt super shy heading in for training with a head full of bright pink hair. I knew they'd give me their honest opinion and I was kind of nervous about that because I still don't know how I feel about this hair colour of mine.
I had braided my hair before heading off to boxing, something I usually do at the club instead of at home. I thought perhaps with some of it pulled back into the braid it'd tame the colour down a bit.
No such luck. Everyone saw it and everyone commented. Everyone's comments were compliments.
A part of me was relieved, a part of me was flattered, but a part of me was disappointment in myself though for assuming they'd be anything but their usual sweet selves. They are really a great crowd at Elite Boxing, seriously, and today me walking into the club with in-your-face pink hair was a true testimony to just how accepted I am here compared to Korea.
I am so happy here in the Philippines.
