I Finally Did It!

Maybe it was the full moon, maybe it was yet another quarter life crisis or maybe a manic episode. Whatever the cause…I SHAVED MY HEAD!

I am absolutely in love! I feel so liberated!

I chose to shave my head for a few reasons, one of which is that I feel as though I do not allow myself or put myself into many places or situations that make me feel vulnerable. I felt like I used my hair as a security blanket. It was the shield I used to prevent people from seeing me for real. It was the curtain I hid behind in hopes that people would not notice me. But, being noticed by others is not always a bad thing. Sometimes it feels good!

Another reason for shaving my head was the fact that I had that annoyingly persistent need for a change, which is a feeling I get pretty regularly. This time that change ended up being a shaved head!

I also chose to shave my head because as my sister says, “everyone should shave their hair off at least once in their life.” I obviously agree. My sister has shaved her head a few times over the years and says how much she loves it every time. I had always wanted to as well but kept fearing the what if’s, “What if I look bad?” “What if I have a weird head shape?” “What if people look at me weird?” Honestly I finally decided that the “what if’s” don’t matter. The only thing that matters is what I want for myself. I wanted to shave my hair so I did. If there is something you want to do just do it. Unless that thing is a crime…then I want it put on the record that I DO NOT condone it! LOL!

If you want a tattoo, get it! If you want a new hair color or hair style, do it! If you want to shave your head, do it!! I know this statement is cliche but it doesn’t make it any less true, we only live once! We have one life and one body, do whatever the hell it is that makes you happy. Forget what others say!
