Holes On My Head

I’ve got holes on my head!

I am 100% positive that there is something about me, perhaps posted on my forehead, that makes people think they can say just about anything to me.

“Did you take into consideration the holes on the back of your head before you shaved it?”

To start off with…who says that?? Why would someone think that is an appropriate question to ask?

I was in Victoria’s Secret just standing in line when this woman asked her completely, inappropriate question. I have a couple of “holes” or circular areas where I don’t have any hair on my head. I actually had never thought about them until this woman brought it up.

I try and put myself in other people’s shoes before confirming that I believe they are idiots. I tried multiple scenarios for this one, but came up empty handed. I honestly cannot think of any reason that would lead me to believe this is an appropriate thing to say to someone. I really don’t care who you are.

It’s like when people give me stuff because they think I am sick and dying because of my hair. I don’t want to deal with hair so I shave my head! No biggie! Going every 10 days to get it shaved, yes I make and appointment and pay someone to do it, is about all of the time and energy I can put into it. Laziness. I’m fine with it and have accepted my attitude towards having hair. Same thing with make-up. Excessive makeup takes too long and can be unattractive. So hey, don’t wear any, or hardly any, and problem solved! I put on powder and might even put on some mascara if it’s a special occasion or I feel like it. I don’t need any reason either way.

Bonus! It rains and I don’t have to worry about my hair. It gets hot and I don’t have to worry about my makeup smearing. I feel tired and want to take a nap, so I do. I can nap anywhere I want and can wake up at any point during the day and git-up-and-go! No standing in front of the mirror fixing my concealer or blending my, whatever the hell it is that women use those funny shaped sponges to do.

People say I look dikey. They ask if I shaved my head because of “G.I. Jane,” Natalie Portman in “V for Vendetta” or Britney Spears. Given, they only ask this once they’ve confirmed I’m not dying and am in perfectly good health so there was no reason to give me candy (yeah, that’s a thing. She’s sick and dying, let’s give her candy). The worst though, is when people ask what my husband said when I did it? They say, “My husband would’ve killed me!” First off, why would I ask anyone let alone my husband, if I have their permission to shave my head? He came home and viola, my hair was gone! Deal with it. Get over it if necessary. I didn’t even bring it up before I did it. I didn’t even think to bring it up before I did it. It was what I wanted and completely 100% my choice. I really can’t imagine doing or not doing something like this that I want to do because of what anyone else thinks. It wasn’t “empowering.” I didn’t make me feel more “free.” I didn’t want to deal with my fucking hair so I shaved it!
