Goodbye… Hello…new me :-) May 1
The last few weeks since I moved to my place, it has felt very empty. It felt like I was actually living in a better house that had all I needed… except for that one important thing. Sadly though that void will have to remain a void for now.
I wrote my farewell last night. It was painful, but I felt relieved to finally release all the emotion, or the lack of it. I had been harboring a feeling of uncertainty, insecurity and anxiety over the whole thing, and finally last night, I mustered the strength to let go. It was very difficult, but I know it was what I truly needed.
This morning, I woke up to the sound of my phone. My girlfriends called me up to join them for a day at the “salon”. Hearing that was more than enough to jolt me out of bed!!! Indeed, I could really use some pampering. So I hurriedly jumped out of bed, took a quick shower and drove to Rustan’s. My friends already started with their treatments at the Univers Phyto Salon when I arrived. I didn’t really know what I wanted, but I’ve always coped with depression with a spanking new look… and so I decided to go radical on my hair. Junee, the salon stylist extraordinaire, advised a simple trim that will highlight my natural curls. I wasn’t really sure I only wanted a trim, but I said, what the heck… if it’s too long, I’ll just ask Junee to make it shorter! 
After Junee checked out my hair condition, I was taken to a room to have my hair washed and conditioned. Then back to my seat for a relaxing back massage. As Junee started snipping away inches upon inches of hazelnut brow hair off my mane, I could barely look at the mirror. A part of me wanted to keep my longhair, but a bigger part of me is telling me to just do it! So I let my stylist have full control over my hair. and I’m soooo glad I did.
Nits and Annams, thanks for the invite! I’m really happy with my new haircut.
