An event that changed my life probably happened more recently, I think. So it was maybe early February, and I came home earlier than everyone else. I mostly stayed in my room with my dog all afternoon; just scrolling through social media and YouTube. This was like every other day. I would go home, eat, do some homework, and then go on my phone. My Mom would then come home, tell me I should do something with life instead of being on my phone. But that day felt strange, I felt anxious. I just couldn't sit down for a long period of time, and continuously looked in my mirror.
I'm not one to feel like I don't look good but that day was weird. I wanted to change something about my appearance.. Anything. I didn't do it for attention, I think I did it for the opposite. I want a change that would make my life less repetitive. So I grabbed some kitchen scissors and my phone and locked the bathroom.
As soft music played loudly out of my phone, I looked at myself in the mirror with the scissors in hand. I took a deep breath and slowly cut the hair in front of my face, making uneven bangs. I wasn't really thinking at the time, just simple thoughts like, 'I might regret this but who cares.' The adrenaline that rushed through my body when I saw the hair float to the ground was almost addictive. I quickly evened out my newly cut bangs.
I stared at my new haircut as one of my favorite songs flows into my ears. As the chorus starts I did a little dance. I felt proud and happy at myself. I quickly clean up all the clippings and throw them away. I kept my hair back, to where you couldn't tell if I bangs, only at home. It was about a week before my Mom found out.
I feel like this event was out of nowhere. When I get asked why I did it, I respond with an "I don't know, just felt like it." because it's true; I just wanted to do it. I feel like that's with everyone who does a drastic change to their appearance. They either wanted a change from the norm or they do it for attention.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
