Dear readers today I'm going to talk about hair cuts. You know when you cut your hair and you immediately regret it...that's what happened to me about a week ago (feel free to sing that part). Last week over thanksgiving break I was chillin with my cousins and sisters at the local nail salon in Griffin Georgia, when we thought to cut my hair. My super talented rad cousin Amanda is a hair person so she said she could do it for me that afternoon. I was so happy because I thought I could finally look like Taylor Swift!!!! So we head back to my cousins house and get everything set up. Btw I just want to clarify that my cousin is 26 it's not like I let some 12 year old cut my hair. Anywayyyy she put the little apron thing around me and just began to cut. I was freaking out the whole time. After getting about 9 inches cut off I was freaked. I thought it was going to be perf and it's not. So now I am currently taking tons of vitamins to make my hair grow back haha the end.   

Jk. I would never just tell y'all a story about my hair cut, there is a metaphorical life lesson in this. I wanted something different I wanted to change. I thought that since short hair looked fab on Taylor it would look great on me. Ha no. In life when we are going through a bunch of nasty hard stuff we tell ourselves "if only I could have a clean slate" "if only I could have a do over" "if only I could be like this person" everything will be peachy. But that's not the case. We have to learn how to embrace our circumstances and ourselves. Because most of the time a fresh start just makes things worse. We as humans have a tendency to run or be lazy. In my case I hated blow drying my long hair like it took forever and so I was like I'll just cut it all off and it will take like two seconds to dry. Yes, it does take very little time to dry, but it takes like a freaking hour to style and if I don't style it I look like a boy. So I really just made more work for myself. We need to learn how to confront our problems, because just because we run or attempt to change the truth is you'll never get a fresh start or a do over, and your problems will just be there waiting for you once you figure that out. Luckily my hair will grow, but you can't grow a new life. :)
