Britney Shears

Ok, I realize that this post is really really really like, late.  I mean, Britney shaved her head like 4 centuries ago in entertainment news years.  But I saw a picture of her the other day with the shaved head and got to thinking. First, she didn't look THAT bad. Why do people FREAK OUT when a woman shaves her head?!  And that made me then think about how much I totally understand why she did it.  It was a big 'f-you' to everybody.  She was tired of being what everybody else thought she should be.  She was mentally 'off', yes.  That's really not up for debate. However, sometimes I think we get mentally unstable because we are not being who we are and we are too busy trying to figure out what everybody else expects us to be.  I have short hair, I love it.  It suits me.  However, I mostly hate it. (Yes, I'm aware that in a previous sentence I said I loved it.) It's never just 'perfect'.  And it really boils down to this, it's totally not about the hair.  My hair and how I feel about it is a reflection of what's going on in my life.  I have often thought about shaving it off, and when I do, I think of Britney and I think.. hey.. that was pretty brave.
