APRIL FOOLS! I DID NOT shave my head. Although I do really appreciate the overwhelming onslaught of shock/support from you all. This started as a nostalgic longing for my mohawk I had in High School only now with a more strong feminine twist. I am even more in shock that my mother, Andrea , was completely not phased by my post whatsoever. I guess I need to find new ways to express myself that she can not approve of, eh mom? haha :) When I shaved my head the first time years ago I felt so ugly. I was struggling with my self esteem and would seek approval from anyone I could. Shaving my head the first time, then having a similar cut for the second time in my Freshman year of college really forced me to accept, well, me. I feel that shaving your head is one of the most liberating things you can do because it takes away all ability to hide oneself. This self acceptance stopped me from relying on the approval of others. I am more confident and head strong than I have ever been in my entire life and now that I have that no one can take it away from me. :) Love yourself and others will love you back.
