The Countdown!

I just made a record: it took me exactly an hour and a half to retwist my locs! Wow...maybe this was done quicker because of my selective retwisting? I retwisted most of my locs, I left hm, maybe a good 15 locs as is. Speaking of numbers, I finally counted how many locs I have. I have exactly 112. I was expecting more than that, but I was delightfully surprised that it was less than expected. I was very close to almost combining two of my locs, but I said, nah, my combining days are OVER. I admit, one or two of my locs are a bit scraggly, but I don't really care, at least my locs in general has the thickness that I want, that's all that matters. I'm starting to understand that truthfully no locking journey is 100% perfect, and not every single loc is going to stand on its own, and I'm okay with that. Sometimes I do think, hm, in 10 years I should start over a new set. Who knows, maybe I will. But on the other hand, even if I started all over with thick double strand twists from the start, would it really make a difference? Would the journey be any more or less easier/difficult? I honestly don't think it matters, or would change a bit. I love my locs, and if I ever do start over (which is a huge possibility, but it will be 10 years down the line), I'm not going to assume that it will be "easier" because the twists will be thicker the second time around. Overall, I think this set is going pretty well, and I'm even prouder because I'm maintaining them myself and making my own products to maintain them. I've never been this in love or passionate about my hair ever in my life until now. I know for certain that I'm going to be locked for life, be it with this set or more sets in the future.
