The Axiomatic Musings of a Teen who cut her hair and got red highlights.

Because I FELT like it :).

Since the whole thing with Sal I think I've changed and matured a lot mentally, so I wanted to change my appearance too--I wanted to be a whole new me for the new school year. The old me missed Sal like crazy and was pathetic about it. The new me...well, I still kinda miss Sal like crazy but I'm a lot more positive about it now ;). That can be attributed to both Dana and Devon (mentioned him before, the ex-turned-bff) just listening to my endless ranting and also my own mercurial personality. When I'm in that kind of a funk I just need something to click and I can change my mind about it. Until that click though, nothing really helps. Wait, what was I talking about before? Right. Change.
We all go through changes of personality and feelings and opinions. That's our job as teenagers, do that until you fall upon something that sticks. I believe due to that we also have every right to change our looks too. Granted, some things are just bad ideas (like if I were to get every inch of my face pierced and wear goth clothes) but when it comes to stuff like hair, I say go for it! Experiment! Try something you wouldn't have dreamed of before!
Sal thinks it's silly. He thinks it's kind of a rebellious thing (which it is, in a way, against my old self) and doesn't believe in doing things out of the sake of rebellion. He thinks it's important to be oneself and not try and change yourself.

Well I didn't change myself. He changed myself. I'm just going along with it ;).

I believe if you want to play around with your looks, you're entitled to. Hell, even if you don't want to, you should. Go for something you haven't tried before. I always thought long hair was prettier on girls than short hair, so i kept mine shoulder length or longer despite it was horribly split ends and frizzy and looked dreadful. I also never liked bangs. But last December, I just wanted a change. I went for a short, layered look with bangs (so when I flipped the ends out, it looked a little like Alice Cullen but a tad longer) and it looked great! I have no intention of growing my hair out any time soon, short hair suits me a lot better than long. But see, I wouldn't have discovered that if I didn't take the leap.

So take the leap, try something new, let your appearance be a reflection of you :).
That was corny. Whatever, I'm just saying that changes can be fun xD.
