A year ago I began a new chapter in my life I like to call 'The time I was an indentured servant.' It's not that bad I guess, but but being a graduate assistant certainly makes one in service to others at all times.

I wanted a never before seen look on me to commemorate this time but what I wasn't expecting was a whole new level of acceptance and freedom I gained about my appearance. I didn't play it safe that fateful day at the salon. When it was over and I looked at myself in the mirror I thought the urge to cry (I'm a crier) would come but instead I faced myself in the mirror and accepted it as the new me. It took some adjusting to but in the end I more than got used to it, I loved it! I wanted to maintain it especially the length and style of January, but I've become a restless person who is constantly in search of new thrills, challenges, and experiences and so, one day I'll return to this look, but in the meantime I have other plans for my lovely locks.
This is my hair story, a year in the making:
August. What have I done? I'm the fifth Beatle! Haha! This is right out of the salon
September. The sun has lightened my hair and I've started to play with styling
October. This was me whenever I was lazy with my hair. still cute ^_~
November. I was loving the Alice look from Twilight look and wore it to the premiere
December. For my B.A. Ceremony and my birthday. My hair felt so fun and flirty
January. The short hair with winter clothes really went well together
February. A Japanese friend came to visit this month and loved the look. International popularity status achieved!
March: At ULTRA with Kristy and a surprise visit from Rae was easy, breezy, beautiful!
April. Yesi's birthday and my Asian Studies award. Starting to look familiar..
May. I changed it up with some fire red for the mustache party.
June. Constant washing has washed out most of the red but I'm loving how it's grown out.
July. I've come full circle and am ready to go longer than ever before!
Ah babe, I've seen you come full circle with your hair length and am glad to report that I loved every moment of it. I am partial to the "Alice" look on you. I know hairstyles have a strong influence on the emotions of women. I'm glad to see you embraced it and owned it as your true self. You truly have come a long way and have become such a strong individual. I love you!
