short hair v. long hair

for a good chunk of my life, i've been referred to as "tall with short hair." and i think that basically summed up my high school years and while i played drums in a band, always wearing chucks and a hoody.

and to an extent- that is still in me. (i wear converses and hoodies still, and that will forever be a part of me).

but let's talk about hair... and i've been thinking about this because right now, Great Clips (here's a little plug for them) has a limited deal: haircuts for $7.99. which is pretty sweet, but i mean, Great Clips... how much can you expect from them? my mom actually went in and got a hair cut- she said it took 10 minutes of a trembling student's hand with a result of... almost no difference in her hair at all. =\

but right now, my hair is pretty long. it's almost at the longest length i've ever had it be at.. and i'm actually somewhat proud of it. i'm proud but i'm also really, not used to it. so i just tie it up in buns and ponytails 99.9% of the time. also.. my hair is thin and flat, so it doesn't really look good down.

so i thought that maybe i should just chop it off again... maybe i want to have short hair again...

but if i go back to short hair, then the labels will be posted all over me again, perhaps. there she is, the tomboy tall girl with short hair wearing chucks. but maybe i dont want to be known as that person anymore... and maybe i want long, wavy hair instead. maybe long hair is who i am, now.

i hate that boys have it so easy. i bet they don't really take into consideration all these thoughts before getting a hair cut.. but for me... it could very well be life-changing.

for now, i'm going to let it be and let it grow even longer.
