I LOVED having my hair this short. I felt more confident, I felt like it really suited my personality and my face shape. A lot of people told me how much they liked it and admired my bravery in going so short. And I got it cut during a pretty difficult time in my life, where I knew I needed an emotional and spiritual change in my life, and I wanted an outward, physical change to symbolize that.

But like Hayley said, I thought that cutting my hair would heal me, and it didn’t. I still fell back into a lot of patterns of my “old self,” if you will. It took a lot more than cutting my hair to make me feel like a new person. But you guys, God has been so faithful in healing my heart in many ways this year, and none of that has to do with my hair.

Still, I can’t wait to have hair this short again. I truly love how I look with hair this length. It makes me feel brave and like I have nothing to hide. When I talk about cutting it again, sometimes people give me funny looks or ask why I would want to cut it again, and truth be told that does make me start to feel a little self-conscious again, but really I think my pixie cut was probably the best decision I ever made regarding my hair, and I’m really longing to go back.

Wow, this is really long and it’s all about hair lol. Whoops sorry. Also, mad props to my best friend Mandy for taking these pictures of me in the fall of 2010!
