once i was too young to compromise
would not change my hair or clothing for anything
society be damned

i thought, i'll compromise when i'm older, if i have to

and i did
many times since i have dyed my hair brown
or auburn
or black
or blonde
when job searching or to keep jobs happy.

it did not make me happy
it made me feel dirty and like i was lying.

but responsibilities are what they are
rent must be paid, etc.

but now,
now i feel like i'm getting too old to compromise anymore
call it an early mid-life crisis if you will
i won't sell people things they don't want or need
i won't kiss ass 8 hours a day
i won't dye my hair any colour which makes me feel icky

i also have the advantage of finally being at a point
and in a city
where there's plenty of opportunities regardless of appearance

back to hair
it has been an a-line and the front bits were about 1/3rd of the way
down my upper arm
but it was damaged from dying over black from before
so i cut about 3 or so inches off

eeww roots!
