01 Mar New Hair=New Outlook

New hair, to me, always marks a new stage of my life.

New hair changes a person’s self identity. It changes how you see yourself, how you feel about yourself, and how you carry yourself. That, in turn, changes your outlook, your goals, your attitudes.

I had an epiphany this week and realized that it was time for a change. I’ve realized there are a lot of things I need to focus on in my life now that I had pushed to the side for a while.

I need to focus on school, focus on my future grad school and career, and focus on enjoying the time that I have. Definitely going to try and go out more, actually have some fun like a real 20 year old [while keeping up with school, of course]. I’m also going to try and just be happy. No worries. Just happiness.

I’m also going to spend time thinking about the things I need to accept in my life which I’ve sort of ignored. A lot has happened to me over the past 2 years… [more importantly since July]… that I need to think about. I need to evaluate what happened and ensure that I’ve accepted them. I’ve also gotten rid of the people in my life who have brought me down and I’m going to learn from those experiences. I’m going to grow.

…Apparently, I needed to be in a hairshow and have them turn me into a redhead and cut half my head of hair off to do that, but I’ve done it.

I’m now a redhead with a completely different haircut

But I feel good.

Change is good.
