Dear Long Brown Hair,

We've had a lot of good times together.
I'll always remember the way you flew in the air,
made comfy beds for creatures,

got caught in a flock of birds,

and were covered by hairy, sweaty men.
But I feel that we are no longer right for each other and it's time to move on.

There's a little girl out there who will love you,

and there's a little girl in me,

who wants nothing more than to feel the wind on her shoulders.

Your new hair cut is gorgeous! Some little girl will love it!

Paige Hadley said...

Having short hair is a lot of fun, isn't it? Hopefully your daring move is the beginning of a long and loving romance! You do look very quirky and young with short hair, so I think you have triumphed. Take care.

Tricia Orchard said...

Way to go! I grew mine out so that I could donate it to "Locks of Love". What a great feeling!

nova said...

Oh la la! Very fancy!

Unknown said...

Love it, you look gorgeous and are very brave, most importantly have fun.

Woh I like your new haircut and really love that you gave your hair to that organization. I'm currently letting my hair grow for a similar dutch organization called "Haarwensen" (Hairwishes.)

Slightly Smiling said...

This was such a sweet post. I absolutely loved the last three parts. I donated to locks of love a few months back too and am in the process of growing it out, maybe again next spring (but I love the feeling of the wind in my hair). :]

Thanks for sharing these photo stories! They're so fun to read.

I just decided to start growing my hair out, so I can cut it off and give it away.

I think I have a long way to go.

Congratulations on the hair cutting!

I once upon a time cut mine very, very short (pixie short) and was amazed at the personality that emerged. ;)

Hope yours is equally surprising! :)
