and i’m mourning the loss of so much hair, after three years i’ve shaved it. it was longer (and heavier) than its ever been and i had to grow it out again finally because it was long when i was a child and it feels very comforting to have long hair. and i flirted with growing it long again for about 20 years, but always backed off when it got to that difficult stage that hair as thick and wavy as mine gets to when it begins getting longer. so i loved that i did it finally, and i did love how warm it kept me in winter. but it is extremely a hassle in warm weather and i did want a change because now that i’ve proven to myself i can grow it long again it was beginning to feel very cumbersome. plus the long white hairs are fun but i’m not quite ready to be a wizard (tho before long i will be) and suddenly i’m wondering if i should have just cut it to my ears or something, my shoulders. i just cut off three years of time. wow. i could have gone backward just a year or two at once. but i had to have the drama of the clippers, didn’t i? yeah. you know i did.
i do still love the look of a queue, or modifications thereof, but what i forget each time is how much work they are to maintain. to sleep on. to keep neat. i could investigate a local place and see how much they would charge to maintain it. shave, braid, etc. but i’d rather spend my time on writing, art, video, or music than on my hair, to tell you the truth. eh. i may just shave it entirely and begin growing it again.
my first thoughts were of going back to the big loose curls stage. something ive not yet done for more than a day. well. dunno, maybe. i got messed up when i first shaved my head because i loved it so much. and then you know, i love hair, too. so i’m always going back and forth and actually i guess i’m bored of doing things with my hair in a way. maybe i’ll just shave the whole thing for a while. whatever. when your hairstyle is your most pressing concern, your life is pretty damn groovy. and i’ll be the first to admit that i’ve got much bigger problems in front of me than what to do with my hair. can i blame the fixation on the 70s? why not.
this was the stupidest post ever.
