Locks of Love
So as part of my campaign to really change my mindset into a more positive one, I did something that I'm sure any of you who have known me long enough would never think could happen.
I cut off 13 inches of my hair and dyed it bright pink.
It was kind of scary at first, because my hair has never been shorter than my shoulders, but I felt good thinking that my hair could go to Locks of Love. On top of that, having a completely different appearance might just be the visual cue I need to return to the impulsive, fun person I used to be. For too long I allowed the shit that's happened to me to weigh down on my shoulders, and especially now that my green-haired darling is struggling and in need of someone strong to lean on, I'm ready to just be a better person not only for him, but for me. The vicious circles of sad I mentioned before should be able to work in the reverse, so if I'm happy, then that will make him happy too, which will in turn make me the happiest. If I can go through my birthday knowing that our future will be bright and exciting together, then that's the best gift I could ever hope to receive.
...though thanks already to people who are starting to wish me a happy birthday :)
