light + freedom
wear your black clothes, mourn; i have cut my hair.
for the first time in a very long time, i felt kind of beautiful! i feel lighter; my hair reacts by swinging smoothly when i turn my head from side to side.
late last night, i wrote--
after having long hair for just under a decade, i have decided to chop it off. i will have a long bob with a dramatic asymmetrical part. i will set my hair in pincurls at night, feel lighter than ever. i've cut the hair around my face to add shape, but the rest hangs straight and limp. i am going to drive to the salon tomorrow, clutching photographs for demonstration with shaking hands. "i'm terrified," i'd like to confess. but i'll be brave. hair grows. i feel like a child on christmas, but with the sense that every present could potentially smash my face into a million little pieces.
i nearly cried when i saw how perfect it was this afternoon.
