I have been experimenting with my hair cut a lot within the last year when it finally got to the point that my hair was too short to do a lot more with. People had been telling me that I would look good with a shaved head and such, so I decided to take the plunge a few days after initially cutting my hair shorter.

It’s probably one of the best decisions I’ve made in awhile.

I don’t have to worry about bed hair, shampoo or styling my hair. I can sleep in the morning by 15 more precious minutes because I don’t have to take care of my hair. Granted I have to wear hats outside so my head doesn’t freeze in the weather, but hey, it’s worth the trade off.

I love the reactions I get from my hair. It was nerve wracking the first time I went out in public with my head shaved. I was afraid that people were going to make fun of me. While I did get a few strange looks from people and had a couple even treat me like I was a cancer survivor, for the most part this was not the case. I had some of my friends and dorm mates randomly walk up to me and rub my head. I made guys’ heads turn. I made teachers do double takes while in class.

Best of all, it gave me a self-esteem boost. For the first time in awhile, I felt pretty again. There was no hair to distract—I could just look into my eyes and see myself again.

I am sure that I have met someone significant in my life within the last few months. I don’t want to jump the gun yet and say that I’ve found my soul mate, especially with the way things are right now between us (without going into detail), but it definitely feels like I was supposed to meet him. There’s just too many circumstances surrounding the whole thing that I can’t ignore and I have never felt this way about anyone else before. I trust him with things I never even knew was buried within me. Before I met him, I used to bury everything, but talking to him brings out all of these emotions that I had tried so hard to hide. It’s almost like he’s helping me heal myself. I guess all I can do now is let fate play out…

I’m an animation major, so this goal is inevitable as seniors have to make a short film for their final project. I figure I’m on my way though—I want to be able to flesh out my characters with animation! :]
