this same time last year, I struggled with wanting to chop all my hair off and go for a shorter 'do. well, I have the same feeling now of wanting to cut all my hair off again.
i'm more confident about doing it this time, but there's still a little voice (smaller than last year) that tells me it's going to look awful on me.
why am I so concerned about my hair? who cares what it looks like? hair doesn't define me as a person. if I cut my hair off I'm still the same person on the inside. hell, changing my hair might make me a better person on the inside...(maybe not).
the last time I had hair that rested on my shoulders I was a senior in college.
well, that was 8 years ago. I was 21-22. i'm 30 now. I want a change. I'm itching so bad for a change. i'm not saying this is gonna look good on me. it might look horrible, but hair grows, right?
there's a lot of hair laying on my back. like...a ton. sure, a good 6" might help give me a good look/change, but why not cut another 4" and be able to help give people who don't have to struggle with the decision of whether to chop their hair off or not. because they don't have any at all.
last year I wanted to cut my hair off and donate it through this Pantene program to women with cancer. this year it's long again and I want to donate it again.
one of my dear college friends suffered through osteosarcoma and because of chemo she had no hair for a little over a year.
that was only a part of her cancer struggle, but I want to be able to donate my hair to help another woman who doesn't have hair because of her battle.
i'm sure you'll see me a week or two from now with just 3" off because I chickend out. there are bigger problems to solve than whether or not I cut my hair or not, right?

very interesting....I am getting my hair cut on Wednesday. I haven't cut it for 2 years! I am not getting it that short but I just feel that my hair has reach porn star lengths. I plan to cut 4 inches of and I am terrified already.
My hair's grown a bit and closely resembles the first two. I grow mine out just to cut if off again about every two years. It's fun!
Cutting my hair is the one thing that makes me feel all brand new, I'm kind of obsessed... Probably why my hair is always short! I don't have the patience to grow it out. I'm sure it will look great no matter what you decide!
Ha! Just noticed you posted this a month ago... I'm guessing you made a decision by now!? :)
