I Am My Hair

I originally grew my hair out because of this

but in reality I would settle for this

but instead I've ended up looking like this

That arm around me is a female's...but it's my sister.

I've been growing my hair out for a year and three months now, waiting for the day when it's going to finally look at least as half as good as those pictures above. I'm still waiting. And the longer I wait, the more prone I am to cut it off. Which would make it feel like the last 15 months were a waste of headspace.

Today, however, a female told me she loved my hair...and it wasn't my sister. So as long as that keeps happening...
