Well, that's two less things I have to worry about

Well, I've made an important decision.  Actually, I made it about a year ago.  It's not terribly significant or life-changing, but for me, it makes me feel more like myself than I have in over 20 years.  I have decided to no longer color my hair or wax my eye brows!

I know, no big deal right?  And honestly, to me, it's not a big deal.  The first time I ever had my hair colored wasn't until I was in college and the same goes for my eyebrows.  But I started doing it because I thought that's what girls did when they grow up.  My cute friends always looked amazing with their blond weaved hair and perfectly shaped eyebrows whereas I felt like I had a pelt above my eyes.  And so it began, but because it was so unnatural for me to do, I did it pretty rarely and the color I always chose was just a shade lighter than my natural color.  But that doesn't mean it was any less expensive. And that's when I would do my eyebrows, too.  So, what was the point?  I guess I thought I would be less attractive if I didn't, have less friends, never get married.  All of these negative thoughts because of hair!  So as the years have gone on, it's gone to twice a year that I do this, but now, it's been an entire year and that made me think.  Does Hubert still think I'm pretty?  Yes.  Do I still have the same amount of friends, maybe more? Yes.  Am I treated any differently than my female counterparts in group situations?  No.  So, I'm done and I'm happy.  Now, I'm in no way saying that women who get these things done are shallow or vain, it's what makes them happy.  Most, if not all of my female friends and family members do this and they are beautiful!  But for me, this is what makes me feel beautiful and that's a pretty great feeling.
