Wig outside a box

I hate ceremonies (along with some fucked up things about graduation at my school in particular), so I'd planned on not going to commencement at all. But, I do like symbols, as long as they hold meaning to me. I've been saying for a while now that I want to shave my head, or at least cut my hair short, for graduation, since I haven't gotten a hair cut in about ten years, and all this hair feels like a tie to the past. I've gone back and forth on it because I like having long hair, but I know it will grow back, and I think I really need to feel like next year is a fresh start. Well, the big day is coming up, and I'm surprised at how I'm not freaking out about it. Five years ago, the thought of a haircut would have given me an anxiety attack. Funny how things change.
