As my hair fell down, I didn't feel younger. Nor did I feel freer. I felt nothing. Snip snip here snip snip there, what's happening? Was I losing everything of my childhood? I didn't feel different..was that bad? My hair made me feel elegant, or so it seemed, it wasn't my hair but my face that made me feel this way. I was wondering what others will think. It was my biggest worry. I didn't care about nothing else, my hair was short now, yet not completely cut. realize, once more time, that I am insecure and I let others bring me down. There again, I was wondering what others will think...if I would be reject cause of the way I look!

Two hours passed, finally my mom was down with my hair. She had to experiment a lot on it too.. I ran up stairs to the bathroom and look at myself closely, wasn't what I imagine at all, yet, It's what I though it would be. I whispered to myself "I still look cute, right?". And so I mess around with my bangs. Then I added to pigtails, they were so short! I used to have long pigtails... Just like most pretty princesses. Here, again I thought "Do I look younger? Older?" I couldn't quite figure it out.. But then again.. Does it really matters?

I walked out of the bathroom happily, I did my own style! I was thinking of all the hair accessories I should buy... All the cute, cheap, plastic things. All the things that would mean.......me. I still have lots to do with my hair.

Two hours afterwards, three of my friends came to my door, and together we went out. They were surprised. And they told me it really fit me, that it looked great on me. I was happy, my friends like the haircut I got, and I like it too! We had a fun time together.

So my haircut isn't bad! Although, I feel no different. Should I? My hair was at belly button before, and now at my neck! Surely, I'll miss it. But it grows back..or I hope so. My friends ask if I felt different, empty, weird, free. Since losing that much hair seems like something! But no, I don't feel no difference.


So, here you go, me and my hair(which I got cut).
I might/shall miss you long hair!
Hair Cut: Thursday, July 5th of 2007




EDIT: I think that maybe, I should mention. That I donate my hair. Yup, it was long enough! So we donated it. I had long, straight, brown hair. And I've gotten positive comments about my hair before. So I'm happy someone will get the same feeling I get, of owning this beautiful hair I was born with.
