Welp, it's official

My hair is long enough that people think it's a style choice.  I've had 3 strangers compliment me this week on my haircut.
them: "I love your haircut!"
me: "Um, thanks...but it's not a haircut, it's just my hair growing back in from chemo."
<insert awkward silence>
them: "Oh."
me: "Don't worry, I had surgery and now I'm cancer-free!"
them: "Uh, congrats..."  slinking away from that super awkward conversation, wishing they'd never said anything.

I'm thinking I need to just learn to say, "thank you!" and move on, eh?

In the whole scheme of things, I think this is good news- now I know I can totally pull off hair this short. The funny thing is, before the big C, I was really uncomfortable without bangs, I felt almost naked without them. And all the sudden there I was- running around town with a naked head like nothing.  Perspective is such a funny thing!

Take a good look, my peeps. This will be the one and only time it'll ever be this short.  So enjoy it while you can & feel free to touch it when you see me, it's super soft!

Who knew?  David Beckham is my hair's spirit animal!
