Hairbrush funeral

Today, we gather here in this little corner of the internet to pay respects to something that has recently passed on and left a hole in my life.

My hairbrush was good and worked hard all the time. It was always there when I needed it.

But now it's not.

I have very crazy, curly, uncontrollable hair, and have had from a very young age. The hairbrush that I had wasn't really working for me, and so I bought this hairbrush from Primark for £1.50. That was years and years ago now. Funny how time flies... and you just begin to take these things for granted.

Because this is no ordinary hairbrush. This is the best hairbrush in the entire world, and it means more to me than anything else. It doesn't even bother me how sad that sounds. Every single day it was me and the brush against my hair, against the world.

It stuck by me in times of trouble and was there in some of the most important times in life. It has stayed with me, despite the number of times I used it as a microphone, despite the number of times I yelled at it, blaming it for my hair problems.

It never left.

But now... it has.

This hairbrush is soooooo good, and I recommend it to absolutely anyone with thick, long, curly, frizzy hair, or really, just anyone with hair! It is hot pink, (but Primark also do one in black) and it just couldn't be more fabulous.

But for a few weeks now, a small rip has been forming along one side of it, and last night, the entire front of it came off when I was in the shower (and yes, I know, it's really bad to brush your hair in the shower).

I screamed out, as it felt as though my heart was breaking.

Nothing would ever be right again... nothing ever will be untangled in the same way...

So now, as I mourn this loss, I have to begin thinking about the future. Nothing will ever be able to replace that hairbrush in my heart, but I do need to get myself down to Primark for a new one, because I'm not sure how to survive without it.

Let us join together to say our goodbyes and remember my hairbrush in a positive light as it moves on to a better place.
