Why I kept my hair long!!!

People that have not met me lately would not know that I have kept about shoulder length hair. Its about the length, after I pull it down, but because of its natural curl, it does not seem to be shoulder length, but it really is.

I have said a few pretty lame reasons when people ask me why my hair is so long. “I lazy to cut. I want to save money. I missed the Lunar New Year hair cutting timing, so I have to wait till after new year. This is my artistic expression”. I promise I will write things that will make people that read my blog worthwhile, and here, I will write the real reasons. But before that, I will explain why I give all these crappy excuses. Because I am crappy, and because I think if I say say the real reasons people will just give me weird stares. So, I chose the easier, but cornier explanations.

Ok, straight onto my reasons, which are a few. It is because I want to remind myself to not judge a book by its cover. I am actually a very superficial person. Thus, I always have this habit of judging a book by its cover. Every time I look in the mirror, I try to remind myself that I must not judge a book by its cover. Of course I know I do not really look that great with long hair. Its meant not to look good, just look different. Sadly, I am failing miserable, because no matter what, I am still doing it once in a while. Old habits die hard, so I will try to take as long as it can to remove this very bad habit.

But there is more. I want to experience another side of life, the life of a long hair. I am curious why girls are willing to bear the heat of Singapore to have long hair just to look pretty. Now, I think I know why. Of course long hair looks more feminine, but its actually after a while, you grow attached to your hair, like me to mine now. There were actually times that I wanted to cut my hair short because its really freaking warm in Singapore, but I did not because I feel its like a part of me that I cannot bear to let go.

Another reason, because I can choose to have long hair. Think army. I have the right, the freedom, and I will exercise that freedom. So hippie, but of course, I am not. Oh, and I also really want to tied up my hair. I think I look nice with tied up hair, but I think thus far, I will need to put pins to make them look tied up. I really have no idea how to tie up my hair..

I think I have covered all my reasons. At least I think so. Nonetheless, I do think I am a weird person too, haha... That is why I do not really want to tell people my real reasons for the long hair. At least I know why I want to have them. Its really thought-provoking.
