Haircuts

I think my life can be summed up in describing my hair.  It is huge and as Miley Cyrus would say "It can't be tamed."  Some days, my hair looks like the fluffy ears of a Cocker Spaniel.  Other days, it looks like I slept on it and didn't brush it.  That is probably because I normally sleep on it... and don't brush it... But that is beside the point.  Think Topanga's hair thickness (From Boy Meets World if for some sad reason you don't catch that wonderful reference) meets the waves of a California surfer girl meets Bride of Frankenstine's frizz.  That is my hair in a nutshell.  Actually no.  Because lets be honest, my hair is too humongous to ever fit in any nutshell.  Except for maybe an overgrown coconut.  But that is not really what I am talking about and it would still be cutting it pretty close.  Whatever.  You catch my drift right? (Dora the Explorer-like pause) Great! The funny thing about my hair though, is that sometimes, it looks so good!  I'm sorry if that sounds arrogant, I promise I'm not trying to toot my own horn or anything but sometimes you just have to.  So *Toot Toot*.  Sometimes, my hair is awesome.  Sometimes I look in the mirror and I'm like "Hey there Bertha! (That is what I refer to my hair as.  I told you I was weird.  Deal with it.) You are lookin' so awesome today!"  I don't actually talk to my hair like that because that would be even stranger than I can get, but I am hoping you understand.  So now your probably like, "Hey Chloe.  Why have you been rambling about your hair for so long?"  Well Mr. Curious, because it is seriously like a mirror of my life.  Sometimes, my life can't be tamed.  Sometimes, I don't put in the effort I should to make it what I want.  Sometimes it is awesome!  Sometimes I am even shocked by how great it is.  And other times, it feels like the only thing to do is buzz my head and start all over.  Don't worry, I will never pull a Britney like that.  But are you getting the analogy?  I guess the thing is as much as I want to start my life over and go back and live it differently, that really wouldn't be what is best.  Just like shaving my head would not be a good idea.  Because the idea is just to continue to shape my life as it is, to form it into the life I want to live.  And sometimes that will be hard because I am completely indecisive and always want the "other choice." But in the end, I have the power to shape my life into the one I want for myself.  Kind of like a haircut.
