Wow . You are a strong individual.

I try to be.

My explanation.
I had my parents shave my hair like a Jedi because I suffer from many skin problems (as you may already know).
The two main skin problems I have are Contact Dermatitis and Eczema.
Because of these problems, I am allergic to pretty much everything, including shampoo. And, obviously, with longer hair it requires more care and cleaning. That means much more contact with things like shampoo. Which makes my face, scalp, neck and hands swell, I get multiple rashes/blister patches and my skin starts to peel away, leaving only raw muscle. When raw muscle is left, it constantly leaks white blood cells and I have to cover my hands with plasters so they don't stick together (I had my hands stick together, it's definitely not a pretty sight ).
If it's really bad, my fingernails will become wrinkly and they will begin to detach themselves from my fingers.

It really depresses me sometimes, and I find it incredibly difficult to ignore. But, I keep fighting, because I won't let something that is so insignificant destroy me. I try to be as positive, brave, determined and kind as I possibly can. Although I'm not always happy, I definitely try to be.

And now that I have shorter hair, I can decrease my contact with shampoo and allow my hands, face, neck and scalp to heal. Thus, making much less work for myself .
Hopefully, now I can spend more time learning new things, looking after my pets and enjoying myself, instead of constantly hating myself because I have irreversible skin conditions. For once, I might actually have a little bit of self confidence.


I might dye my hair another time, but not for a while. I think I'll stay a Jedi for now. XD

I agree with Beaky, you are a very strong individual. That haircut looks good on you.

Thanks. Thanks, I think it suits me! I just think the Padawan braid needs to grow a bit longer. XD
(Lol, I found out that it's not called a Jedi plait, it's called a Padawan braid. )
