People often associate courage with beginning.
Starting a business.
Moving to a new city.
Taking a new job.
Meeting someone.
Trying something unfamiliar.
But ending can require just as much courage.
Rosa’s hair wasn’t necessarily a mistake.
She had enjoyed it.
She had cared for it.
It had become part of her identity.
Yet she eventually recognized that the relationship had changed.
She didn’t need to hate something to decide she was ready to let it go.
Not Every Ending Is a Failure
This is a lesson that applies far beyond hair.
Sometimes people stay in routines because they believe ending them means admitting they were wrong.
But something can be wonderful for 25 years and still no longer be right today.
A chapter can be meaningful without lasting forever.
A hobby can be valuable even if you eventually stop doing it.
A job can teach you important lessons even if you leave.
