Well folks,
It's time for me to get my hair cut.1) I will see my mom next week, who always says something incredibly critical and hurtful about my hair when it's grown past my shoulders. My personal favorite was one Christmas dinner in front of 25 relatives she wanted to tell an amusing anecdote. "My daughter doesn't even get her hair cut, I mean, look at her, she's starting to look like a 'maiden of science'" And I was right there. I still haven't forgotten that one. Seared into my insecure little soul.
2) I have started to wear it in ponytails or pigtails. My hair is too thin to look good in these styles, and then I just look like a lazy schlump, which I am.
3) I'm going to try to create a symbolic change. Last time my hair was cut was before I was diagnosed with my mental illness. Maybe if I cut off my hair, I can say bye bye to the past. Sayonara anhedonia. Don't come back!!
I found a photo in a magazine that I liked. Now I'm going to the salon. As soon as I can get dressed and out the door. which I've been trying to do since 6:30 am. but I had to take two naps. ugh.
