In lieu of my desire for change, I decided to cut my hair. Myself. With fabric shears.
It didn't turn out too bad, if I do say so myself. I've really wanted to cut it ever since my hair was fried when i modeled for a Paul Mitchell hair show in May; they took it from long, luxurious and brunette to short, straw-like and platinum. It was kind of cool, had bright orange highlights and was cut in a very trendy, funky style, but ultimately I ended up hating it and cursing the stylist for destroying my hair. So, after months of trying to repair it, and in accordance with my passion for DIY sufficiency (as well as an empty wallet), I decided to lop the whole thing off. It's weird how much we identify with our hair...I find myself feeling slightly insecure about my femininity and compensating with things like more "girly" clothes and jewelry. (Well, as girly as my tomboyish wardrobe will allow.) But I also feel very liberated and exposed, and this sense of freedom gives way to a more relaxed, unabashedly genuine expression of my true self. It's pretty fun.
I'm also entertaining the idea of trying a raw diet. I feel very heavy, weighed down by toxins and such; I'm also a little concerned for my health due to a suspicious pocket of pressure that is frequently accompanied by pain in my lower left ribcage. It feels very out of place....like something is in there that should not be. So, I'm thinking a good detox is the way to go, not only to feel better in general but hopefully it will help reveal an answer or at least a clue as to what mysteries are occurring in my body. And from a total vanity standpoint, I've gained 6 pounds in the last 3 weeks and I don't like where it has parked, haha. I did pretty well today, eating mainly fresh fruits and cooked veggies, with my only processed meal being a bowl of cereal. I can honestly say that until I ate that cereal, approx. 40 minutes ago, I felt great all day, but now I feel kinda bleh...it's amazing how quickly your body will assimilate to what it needs. So for tomorrow, it's all raw, baby!
I'm a dork
I hope ya'll enjoy my dorky musings. Peace.
