When you think about it, hair ties are one of the most subtly beautiful things on this planet.

They were there when you had a little too much to drink with your best friends. Laughing, dancing, making memories that you probably actually forgot.

They were there when you were so determined you ran for miles. You felt amazing and covered in drops of sweat.

They were there when you sat down with your instrument or art supplies and tried your hardest to throw your heart into every hand movement.

They were there for the intimate moments, too. The ones where your hair falls over your face in curtains and all you want is to kiss him without interruptions.

They were there for all the bad hair days, or even the days you just didn't want to get out of bed, but you did.

No matter how significant or insignificant, hair ties have a story to tell. Even if it's just a short time before you lose it.

I just read a love letter to hairbands...

This is honestly so fantastic. I never would have even given my hairbands a second thought, and you saw so much beauty behind them that no one else sees.

Bravo!
