Urg. (March 2011)

I cut you off because I thought I needed change and

nothing was really helping. So I decided to go physical, I

needed to see a difference in order to feel a difference. And if

there’s something I have learned, is that I have always loved

my hair. Even when I hated everything, it was there for me to

stare & get lost in its tangled colors.

So maybe I’m silly, and ridiculous, and maybe this is

no big deal… to you. But to me, I am sad and regret ever

thinking I needed to change myself. Go ahead and laugh and

taunt and tell me, “It’s just hair.” I don’t care. I’m not much of

a girly-girl and I don’t give a **** what my hair ever looks like,

at least I didn’t when it was long and luscious.

It was all in my mind and what now? Now I’m left

without the comfort of my long blonde locks. Stuck with this

short, uneven **** and I know what I need to do to fix it. But

for that I need to cut it more, I dare not, and I also need a

time machine. To make it grow out, longer, longer, faster,

now! But now it’s annoying and the stupid kinks are stupid

and dumb.

And god, so am I. And yes, I sound like a child.

But that’s cool, ‘cuz I am.

Lesson learned.

This is more of a rant than a piece of writing.
