I haven't had short hair since the beginning of middle school and I always had the idea in my head that long hair was pretty and short hair wasn't. To me, short hair was only for children and since I thought I was sort of baby-faced I didn't want to look any younger than I already did. However, I also had an image in my head of university me and in that image, I always had short hair.
I first wanted to cut my hair short at the beginning of grade twelve. I had become really influenced towards short hair after watching a tv show with an actress who had beautiful short hair and seeing short haired models in pictures. I desperately wanted to cut my hair since my hair at the time was almost to the middle of my back. I felt like all my hair did was weigh me down but I also felt like I would regret it around prom time if I cut my hair short. Thus I decided to wait until after I graduated to cut my hair.
Now I've graduated and my hair goes slightly past my chin while being shorter in the back. I was asked when my hairdresser was about to cut my hair off if I would regret cutting it but I knew I wouldn't. Even after cutting my hair I never felt upset about having it short instead I felt extremely happy. I couldn't stop touching it or looking in the mirror or smiling. Ever since I cut my hair I feel like a big weight has been dropped. With short hair, I feel so much more happy and confident in myself.
I guess I feel like I'm finally making process in becoming who I want to be. Honestly, I've never liked my personality and I always felt I was too shut off and I hid too much from people. I've always said I was going to show more of my true self but I always kept hiding. Now I feel like I'm more ready to be a more honest me. I want people to see my happy self and to know the person I truly am inside. I know it's just a haircut but I feel like it could be the first step towards something great.
