This won't come as a big shock to anyone who knows me well...
I shaved my head today...
Well, the guy thought it would be best to not shave the whole thing and try to get somewhat of a style out of it (chicken) and so I have sort of a mohawk thing going on...
But still.... It feels Fucking Fantastic! Liberating! Empowering! Kick Ass Awesome!
I've been feeling the need to shave my head for about a month now, the urge just kept getting stronger and stronger until today when the urge had me hunting down cheap hair salons just to get the job done!
All the way home from my morning appointment I found myself wanting to turn into each salon that I passed until I finally settled on one close to home.
The hair thing is symbolic of the transformation I've been going through.
I have outgrown the person I used to be. Worried about hair color and style. Always looking for something new to make me feel better about myself.
I can honestly say I feel free! Free of obligation to do something with that regrowth that won't go away without a little chemical dependency!
Free of obligation to style and fuss over the top of my head to the point where I am too exhausted to worry about the rest of my appearance!
Free of worry whether or not the rain and wind will ruin my hard work once I have completed!
Freedom; plain and simple.

I'll admit Jen, I'm a little shocked - not about your hair but how you just totally opened up with us on exactly how you feel - you rock!!!!
ReplyDeleteA little shock is good for the soul :) lol I don't do it often enough on the blog, but this is a glimpse of the true me, the feisty, energetic, creative Jenn :)
