Some people treat cutting your hair short as if it's comparable to running directly into enemy fire to save your buddy. It's not brave. It's cutting your hair. It grows. There's like not that much risk involved. 

Yes. Every now and then we take out a single lock of long hair that we keep tucked away in a silk-lined box, then weep silently into the strand. Then we stair pensively out the window wondering what could have been.

The thing is, you can! Short hair isn't an exclusive club that only a select few women are allowed to join. Anyone can have short hair. You just have to find what works for you. 

We are. We literally throw a party every day to celebrate the length of our hair. That's how happy we are to have short hair. It's the best!

Uh, should we? Because we weren't thinking about it until someone said something. Now that's literally all we can think about.

Why wouldn't we! Short hair is the best! It's so liberating! It's like the 4th of July every single day - that's how free we feel!

You didn't cut your hair short for your boyfriend. You cut your hair short for you. It doesn't matter if our boyfriends like it. We like it. 

Because every woman who has short hair looks the same as every other woman who has short hair. We're all clones of each other. Clones with cropped hair. 

Are you trying to give us FOMO? Yeah, we can't rock milkmaid braids or glamorous updos! Don't rub it in!!

We weren't until you said something... Now we're terrified. Not terrified of looking like a boy, terrified of more people saying that to us. 

Is this a backhanded compliment? We know we rock this look! We rock it so much, it's going to file a noise complaint for all the rocking that we're doing!

We've heard this one before. Many times. We get it. Our hair reminds you of Mia Farrow in Roman Polanski's classic film about a demon baby. We are not about to give birth to a demon baby, FYI. 

What? No! We're not trying to have it grow! That's why we cut it, and will keep on cutting it. And then cut it some more. And for good measure, cut it again. 

Thanks, Mom. The real question is, did long hair look good with us? No? That's why we cut it. 

Yes. Shut up. That's besides the point.
