On Shallow Things, Such as Hair

I’ve been growing my hair out for, I don’t know, 3 or 4 years, since we went to Nice (geeze, has it been that long since we were in France??). It has finally gotten long, not as long as my goal, but very long. And, as per usual, it has been giving me headaches for quite some time now. And, as per usual, before I get to my long-hair goal, I am beginning to fantasize about cutting it short. Really short. But I know how this works…I will obsess about cutting it, then on a whim, go to whoever is closest and hack it off. I will love it for about 6 months, and then I will spend the next 3-4 years growing it out again. Well, in terms of hair at least, I can’t be called boring or stuck in a rut. The same haircut for 5 or 10 years? Not me! The same haircut every 5 or 10 years? Perhaps.
