Shaved My Head – Why?

I shaved my head. No, Im not a guy, I am a girl, and I am not a full on lesbian.

The reason behind doing this act was some what complicated, but I am going to try my hardest to explain it.

Who says that girls need to have hair? People stare and point all the time now. They wisper when they think I'm out of hearing range. Why? Yes, I have no hair. So?

Some people would call this small act a form of rebellion, but its more of a statement. By cutting of all my hair, I had said that I dont care about fads, style, or appearences. Hair does not make the woman. A hair style is a personal choice, not a social one.

Today, while I was walking down the street, two girls had called my hair "Sick". I had stopped and confronted them about their remark. My exact words were:

"Who is more socialy strong, me or you? Do either of you have the ability to do something such as this. Does a person like me, who doesn't care about what the rest of the world thinks, have a stronger sence of being that a person like you, who has to be 'perfect' or 'in'? Or am I weak because I chose to be an individual and not follow the pack?"

The girls hadn't answered, only gotten in their car and drove away. What they said as they were driving, I can only imagine.

Once again, Hair Does Not Make The Woman.

I am not trying to convince anyone to shave their head like me, that is not the point in this blog. I am only trying to send a message to the women out their.

Why be like every one elce? Why try to look perfect? Who are you trying to impress? Or a better question, why do you need to impress anyone? You are an individual, so why not show that you are?

Don't follow the fads, dont try to be perfect. If your friends would think less of you for not wearing name brands or dressing like them, then why be their friend? There are people who will except you for you.

Now, if you do like the name brands, then good for you. But just remember:

"Live your own life, you die your own death." This is my quote, you will see it on my profile. This is my motto for life. Don't be what the rest of the world wants you to be, be yourself.

I don't think this was a good enough explanation for shaving my head, but I can't find the words to explain it any further.
