A Big Change

I am not someone who likes change. Just as everyone else, I am a creature of habitat. Every New Years I set out "goals" for myself.
This year I have 3 goals that I have set for myself. One of these was to donate my hair to "http://www.locksoflove.org/". This is something I have always wanted to do, even in high school.
I have never had the courage it takes to chop off 2 years of my life in hair, or 13 inches.
The task seemed too daunting and I was afraid that I was going to look like a little child with a bowl cut, I am sure we all have had a haircut or 2 in our time that we regret.
I participated in Buckeyethon at Ohio State and they had a hair cutting ceremony where girls would spontaneously donate their hair to children with cancer.
I was in line to donate, but unfortunately was cut off due to time restraints from the hair stylists.
The next day I called my stylist and made an appointment!
Upon arriving at the salon I was so nervous. I have not had my hair this short since I was a little girl.
I took a couple deep breaths and Sarah starting cutting off my hair! When it was finished I couldn't believe that I had actually done it.
My hair felt so light and I was extremely proud to have finally gotten the courage to do something I wanted to do for years.

It is still something that I am getting used to (even a month later). I am proud that I donated my hair, but it will be quite some time before I think about doing that again.
