i cut all my hair off and
people always ask why.
because i had such
beautiful hair.
but i didnt cut it because i
hated my hair, i thought it was
beautiful too.
it just didnt feel like me.
but i kept it because everyone
else told me to.
i felt out of character.
you could see how unhappy i
was in my face.
living for other people was
draining me.
so i chopped it without telling
anyone.
and i suddenly felt like i had
color in my life again.
it felt right.
some people say i look ugly.
that i should grow it back out
or cut it a different way.
but i feel beautiful.
i feel like me.
