A Haircutting Experience
Yesterday was a monumental moment in my life. I got a haircut and not just any other haircut, I got bangs. Haha! So now I look like a mopped Japanese school girl with a lot of hair on her face. :-p
For those who know me, anything that I do to my hair has always been a big issue for me. For example, it took me half a year to decide to chop my hair short much to the chagrin of people whom I constantly asked if I should cut my hair or not. But yesterday, I just had the super compulsive need to get a haircut and a different kind of hairstyle at that. Though I consulted people, I decided to ignore their advice and just went ahead and got the bangs. :) I really did not care if I would look silly or not, I did what I felt like doing and I was darn proud of that.
At the salon, the girl did not understand much Finnish. She actually cut my hair a lot shorter than I expected. But surprisingly, I did not get mad. Instead I just shrugged it off and said that this was meant to happen. Anyway, I still had long-enough hair. I was surprised at how I reacted. Usually, I would do one of the following: (a) cry, (b) get angry or (c) both. But yesterday I took her mistake with ease and mentally noted to myself how I will talk to her next time. :)
So, ladies and gents, I am now officially almost a guru, haha! That means I accept things I cannot change now but I look forward to the future while picking up lessons along the way.
Ain´t life weird? Me of all people, calm and relaxed. Hahaha! :) Life is indeed funny!
