Style #1

So I've been living with my new hair cut for about 24 hours now

The initial shock of seeing my head shaved has worn off 

And my new hair is growing on me

Literally 

I think I like it though

I am just getting used to it

And playing with different styles

And you guys

It is so much fun!

This is the look that I've always wanted 

But just didn't have the confidence or courage to do

I guess for the longest time I've been Ruby the patient

The sick one

And I couldn't see beyond that 

Now I know that I am much more than Ruby the anorectic 

Or Ruby the addict

Now I am Ruby the dog sitter 

Ruby the volunteer

Ruby the girl with the pierced nose and shaved head

Ruby the girl who is so much more than her illness 

As I said in some of my comments

I feel like a teenager

Experimenting 

Finding out who I am 

What I like

What I want to look like 

And I love it!

I know my mother is horrified with my new look 

But isn't that the way that the world works?

The older generation gasp at the younger one?

Yes

That's exactly the way it should be

I would be worried if my mother really liked my look

I sent a photo to my Dad last night 

He sent back a text 'very nice Ruby' 

Ha!

I'm pretty sure he very nearly had a heart attack when he saw it

Anyway

Here is today's style 

Will I ever get tired of putting my hair in a bun?

I don't think so.....
