Seriously, when I think about the freedom, and the long-awaited end to "Ahhh-what-am-I-gonna-do-with-my-hair-wahh-wahh-wahhh!!" :( " type of days, my heart literally leaps for joy. *leap*
You see, I have almost always had long hair, with only two exceptions. One being in April when I did my "Rihanna bob," and the other being when I was an infant. Insert Aaaawwww baby picture of me here :p
So as one can imagine, this is going to be a really big step for me. It'll be an adjustment, for myself and for those who know me. But I am ready for it! So ready, in fact, that even if something were to happen to prevent me from going to my appointment on Thursday, I would straight-up take scissors to my hair myself.
Am I excited? Definitely. :) Worried? Mehh... not exactly. But, I will admit, the question that keeps bouncing around in my head is, "What if, after all this, I don't even like the cut?" And the one answer that keeps satisfactorily responding to that question is "Yo dude. It's JUST hair."
And I suppose that's true. Literally for almost my entire life, I have been known for having long hair. (I remember being SO mad as a little girl whenever adults would ask my parents in my presence if my hair was a weave. Actually, I still get pretty mad thinking about it.... ) So naturally, there's this part of me that fears that when I cut it off, I'll inadvertently lose part of my identity in the process. But how much more silly could I possibly be? What matters is what's in my head, not on it. Plus, I find my real identity in my relationship with Jesus, and I'm pretty sure He'll still like me even if my hair is short. :)
So just 4 more days till my "Big Chop," as it's called. And I am so excited. :)
Moral of the Story: The only way for growth to take place is if there is change. And that counts for hair, too. ;)
