a brave new world and a bold new haircut

it may be an understatement to say that my hair and my identity are closely related. i've had long hair for most of my life (with the exception of one unfortunate incident while living in utah), and longer has always been better. but my hair had gotten too long, or rather too long to still look healthy or be any fun. i've been considering making a change for all of two days, and when i went to see my stylist today, i gave her a couple of different options.

her reaction to the last was so strong and so excited, that i told her to go for it, having established a 'relationship of trust' over the past several months. go for it she did, and while this is a HUGE change for me, i didn't cry when that first snip was taken and something like 10-12 inches fell to the floor. this is a major step for me! usually THREE inches makes me cry.



not only did i not cry, but i am, right now, loving it!
