How strange...
How strange that you can think of how lucky you are to have something, and then later that same day you don't have it anymore. This just happened to me, except instead of having this this I'm lucky to have taken from me, I gave it away.
This thing I'm talking about is my hair; no, it's not that big of a deal, but I thought it was sort of ironic. Why? Well this is what happened:
This morning I looked in the mirror and I thought, "I might not have what guys call 'a great body', but I have to admit, I have kind of pretty hair. I really love the color and way it falls around my face. I had forgotten what day it was at school.
I realized when I got into the building what day I'd forgotten. Locks of Love, a hair doation organization that donates hair to kids with cancer, was coming to our school asking for donations. I didn't plan on doing it. My hair was a little too short.
But then, at lunch, I saw that there were a lot of people who cut their hair. One person told me something that really touched me, and that's what made me change my mind. She said, "I'd rather go to prom with short hair than knowing some poor girl would go to prom with no hair."
That, and my friend's constant coaxing, was enough to get me to cut my hair. It wasn't much, considering my hair I already a bit short, but it was enough to make a big difference. It's an inch or so over my shoulders, and all I could think of was how I was thinking how lucky I was for having hair like mine, and now I chopped it off.
But it was worth it. I might've been a little sad at first, but you know what? My hair will grow back. I have hair. I'm truly lucky, ever without my long hair.
Thanks for reading =]
This was a sort of spur-of-the-moment so sorry if it's a little pointless and suck-ish xD

That was a really good thing for you to do. At one point I was going to do that (reminding you that I'm a guy), but it was never long enough and it just got in the way so I cut it before it ever got up to the min. of like 10 inches or whatnot. My sisters and mom have donated before.

You can sell your hair too, to make wigs.
I'm glad you like your new haircut. =]]]

You know, if you've seen a photo of me you would see that my hair is pretty lengthy, around 30 cm past my shoulders o_o I want to get it cu of course, and donating hair seems like a good idea :D Would you know any more information on this ?

I was going to donate my hair to cancer research.
And then I found out I couldn't do it cause my hair was chemically altered D:
The one fail about hair dyeing and I found it.
