The initial shock of seeing my head shaved has worn off And my new hair is growing on meLiterally I think I like it thoughI am just getting used to itAnd playing with different stylesAnd you guysIt is so much fun!This is the look that I've always wanted But just didn't have the confidence or courage to doI guess for the longest time I've been Ruby the patientThe sick oneAnd I couldn't see beyond that Now I know that I am much more than Ruby the anorectic Or Ruby the addictNow I am Ruby the dog sitter Ruby the volunteerRuby the girl with the pierced nose and shaved headRuby the girl who is so much more than her illness
As I said in some of my commentsI feel like a teenagerExperimenting Finding out who I am What I likeWhat 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?YesThat's exactly the way it should beI would be worried if my mother really liked my lookI 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
AnywayHere is today's style Will I ever get tired of putting my hair in a bun?I don't think so.....
