I am not
afraid of change.
Lately
everything in my life feels like it’s been in a rut. I’ve been pretty sick and
tired lately and it seems like I’m stuck in a cycle of being ill and being
sleepy. Everything has seemed a little out of control and it just feels like
I’m drowning.
I got my
license. I have a job. I’m writing. I have my puppy. I have a loving boyfriend.
I have an awesome roommate. I should be happy as a clam. But something feels
like it is missing from my life.
So, because I
can’t figure out anything else to do, I cut off all my hair.
Yeah, you
heard that right.
Okay, not all
of it. But I’ve been growing it out for over two years now and yesterday I
decided to get rid of it. For some girls this is a pretty big decision, but for
me it’s just kind of what I do when I need a change. I think it takes a lot of
courage to change something about your appearance. Getting a piercing or a
tattoo, changing your hair color or style, even just changing the way you
dress.
But it helps.
That few second of courage that it takes to hand the scissors to a very nice
man at the Great Clips down the road tells yourself that you have courage. It
tells you that you have the balls, you have the guts, to do anything. Even if
right now, anything is only cutting your hair, it is still something.
Something is
always better than nothing.
Challenge to
my Readers:
Take the jump
and do something daring today. Wear makeup you wouldn’t normally wear. Rock a
pair of red cowboy boots. Sing and dance as loud as you can. Take a run. Dare
to have the courage you need, the courage to show the world that you are going
places and no one can hold you back.
