I'm on My Way to Bald

   After a breakup, the best way for me to completely turn off my emotional switch is to completely change everything. I throw things out, I go shopping for new clothes and I always change my hair. Whether it's a drastic hair color change or a dramatic cut, I always go big. With most of my breakups in the past being at least a year and a half apart, I have been able to grow out my hair between breakdowns. But when me and my most recent boyfriend broke up three times, I had to get creative.

Check out my revolution:

1.) Before the breakup (long, straight, blonde hair)

2.) After the 1st breakup (Shorter, curly blonde hair)

3.) After the 2nd breakup (Long, dark brown hair - along with weight loss)

4.) After the 3rd and final breakup (Short, light brown hair)

5.) After finding peace within myself

   So, as you can see, a relationship can really change a person. Not only on the outside, but also on the inside. I told my mother after this last breakup that I need to stay single at least a year, or I'm going to end up bald! It's amazing to me how much my appearance means to me. It changes the way I feel about myself and the way I function. Working overnight is very difficult at times. I want to just come to work in my pajamas because I know I won't see very many people while I'm there. But as sure as I show up to work on time, I always get ready and put myself together. People have asked me before why I go through all that trouble. My answer is always the same. It just makes me feel  better.
