It's official. Societies standards are my own creation. Are they my own standards? I don't think so. I cut my hair really short about a week ago and when I look back on pictures of my shoulder length wavy hair I get sentimental. I miss it! It's a nice melancholy feeling because I know that it will grow back. It will not stay this short forever. It is something nice to look forward to. The cutting of the hair is so metaphorical. Just like a break up. The feelings of despair will not last forever. Things grow back. Broken hearts grow back and mold together to create a stronger being.
I'm excited to see what the future will bring for me. My father is making me quit my job so that I can focus on school. That's exciting! I get to be fully and completely immersed in academia. Maybe I'll finally feel like a real intellectual now. I just need to travel abroad and study politics, history, and journalism in other countries.
I just finished having lunch with my brother. I'm so proud of him. He is totally digging the college vibe. I have a journalism-esque class next. The teacher is a trip. I think we'll become great friends.
It all sounds good to me. You are a beautiful writer, my dear. You described the hair-cut phenomenon well, because I certainly have looked back at pictures and longed for my locks too. But you are right- it will all come back, whether you are talking about hair or the heart after feeling that awful dull pain after a heartbreak. Breakups sure do bring out a different side in us, don't they? I can already see you sprouting in new ways, which is really kind of cool, even if it means feeling sad or however you may feel in exchange.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear your dad is making you be a fulltime student. I know you will enjoy that!
Oh, and I like this new blog of yours. Just one more thing to distract me from learning about "cellular injuries" and "the nursing process".
