so, as many of you know (or don’t) my hair is a huge deal to me. for years i have been growing it out, saying i was going to give it to locks of love, etc…well, today i cut it. over a foot of hair rested in my lap tied by a hair tie. my hair, through the years, had become more or less a crutch. i get really attached to things and my hair had definitely become one of the things i had grown quite attached to..so letting go was going to be hard.
i could always count on my hair; i could hide behind it, use it as a conversation starter, twirl it around my finger when situations got awkward. as much as i loved (LOVED) my long hair, and as much as it was a part of me — literally and figuratively it was (is) time for a change — in every sense.
