Did you know that I used to have severly blond, short, messy hair? Sometimes I added bubblegum pink highlights to the front. I’ve also had red hair, black hair, and purple hair for that matter. I used to be a pretty outgoing person, and my personality was reflected in my hair – either that or my hair boosted my outgoing side.

Now my hair is normal as normal can be. Almost every day is a bad hair day. I’m trying to grow it out – when it was long (like, nearly to my waist long), i also felt a bit empowered by my unique look. Growing your hair out is hard. There are way too many stupid stages where you can’t do anything with it and you just look too normal.

I know, I know, my hair does not in the least make up who I really am.

I still miss it, though. I dont’ feel too confident as much anymore and only a confident person (the kind who can go talk to strangers about God – and i did back then) can wear very short hair. Silly how much a hair style can say about you – or seems to say about you anyway.
