I didn't go natural I just returned.....

My hair today.   Day 2 of a braid out.  Now let me just take this time to say that I don't like braid our results necessarily, but they are much easier to do than twist outs with my hair at this length.  

Yesterday I visited a library co-worker, and she commented on how she loved my hair.  For some reason I think that a lot of people didn't realize that I was natural until I cut my hair last year :-/  Anyhoo, she said, "you love it don't you?"  I replied, "yes." Then she told me that when people ask her how long has she been natural she tells them that she didn't go natural she just returned to it.  I LOVE it.  People don't "go" natural, they simply return their hair to the way it was created.  Recently, a student asked me why I went natural.  I told her that I went natural because I didn't like getting relaxers.  Sometimes I think that people are a bit disappointed in my response as to why I returned to natural.  People expect some deep political health conscious reason for women wearing their hair natural, but nope, sometimes we just want to return our hair to the way it once was.  

What inspired you to return to natural?  

Tootles for now......
