I know that a lot of people dread for many reasons. Some spiritual/religious reasons. Some for fashion. Some for reasons of their own that don't apply to any of those. I believe I am one of the latter. I can't really explain it but I have always just felt like I needed them. Practically my entire adult life I have had long hair (minus a stint in the army). And for this entire time, every time I looked in the mirror I always half expected to see a dreadlocked me looking back. Its been like that since I was a teen. I even made an attempt at dreads as a kid that turned out to be some seriously nasty wax shitlocks.I also feel tgat this is the natural order of things. That this is the way I am supposed to look. Even since I made the decision today to start dreading, I feel a tremendous relief. Like something told me this is the way it should be. And for some reason it gives me a sense of connection to the past, if that makes any sense. I guess what I mean to say is that I am dreading for intensely personal reasons that I cannot yet fully explain. But it feels right...
