I have no hair. Okay, that's an exaggeration. But I have significantly less than I did yesterday. I needed a haircut. I was going to get JP to cut it for me. She wasn't available. So I got Kathy to do it.
She did a great job, having never cut hair before, let alone curly hair. The problem was, the curls kept escaping her. So she had to cut a little more to even it out. And then it still wasn't even, so she had to cut a little more. And I ended up with hair about an inch above my shoulders, which is (I think) the shortest it has ever been. I like it, I think. It has sort of a flip to it. I took digital pictures this morning, but I can't load them onto this computer, so I will have to do it at home and post them tomorrow.
Anyway, I am worried that a certain person will think I look bad. That got me thinking about all the time I spend worrying about my looks. I wonder- have I become one of those superficial, self-absorbed Gap girls? I sure hope not. I need to be focusing on First Peter 3 beauty; instead I'm fixing my hair and buying more clothes. And it's all to please a person who cannot be pleased, when I should be living to please Christ.
Guys, what do you want from us? If we don't put much effort into our appearance, you say we're sloppy. If we put too much effort into it, you don't want us because we're "too stuck on our looks." But if we are, it's because you won't like us unless you think we're pretty. We just want you to think we're pretty. But you won't give us a chance, because however hard we try, we cannot fit your "type."
Any other girls struggle with this? Any of the guys have an explanation?
