Story Time #01: Layered!

A teal-green social media post with cream-colored text reading "Story time #01: Layered" and "It's a story of a hairstylist who broke rules" alongside an illustration of hair cutting scissors, with "@random.whys" watermark.

I went to trim my hair few days back.

But I met someone who didn’t feel routine at all.

She must be around 23 (confirmed later). Young, confident, and full of energy. I started a casual chat boredom usually makes me do that. Slowly the conversation went deeper… into life, into the things people usually don’t say out loud.

She doesn’t hold a degree. But she has years of experience in her lane. She knows exactly what she wants. She goes to the gym, takes her supplements, takes care of her body like anything. Routines doesn’t drain her you know!

Her clarity and thought process shook me. She grew up in a village in tier-2 city where her parents wanted her married off at 17. In her family, elders had married as early as 15 and were already raising adult children. She could have followed the same path. But she didn’t. She said no. She broke the script and building her own rules.

I went in expecting just a trim. I walked out carrying her story.

Sometimes, women like her don’t need saving. They just need someone to listen and to say out loud! You’re doing damn well!

Some build islands. Some carve the ground beneath their feet. Either way, we celebrate every woman who refuses to be moved.

Cheers!

PS: All these happened within an hour!
