What she had been hoping for was a figment, a dream, an impossible thing: like the rain before it falls

En route to a dear friend’s wedding, I descended the stairs of a double decker bus and the wind blew up my skirt as the sun set behind my head. Such a beautiful New York City moment in time.

“The most shameful behavior of my life has been when I’m on the losing end of a complex relationship and I’m trying to hold onto something that I can’t have.”

Look, I am living. On what? Neither childhood nor future / grows any smaller… Superabundant being / wells up in my heart

“Elisabeth Moss always jokes that whenever she works somewhere else people are always like, “Cry your eyes out.” And I’m almost like, “Don’t cry. Do everything you can not to cry,” because I feel like that produces more emotion in the audience.” - Matthew Weiner. (via Hitfix)

It’s that time of my life again...

Every three-ish years, I get an itch. An itch to cut off my hair. Perhaps it’s the need to make a change. Perhaps it’s the hand of God tapping me on the shoulder reminding me how lucky I am. Perhaps it’s just my crazy long hair tickling my back.

I got the itch again this weekend, and chopped off 10 inches of my hair to donate to Locks Of Love. It’s liberating every time I've done it because I get to get cut my hair by choice, but I can’t help to think of all the women who have cut their hair in fear. Those women know they’d rather remove it all at once instead of watching it fall out slowly over weeks as chemotherapy ravages their bodies.

I’m proud to have donated for the third time in nine years this weekend, but more importantly, I’m grateful for the continued health of the women I know who have cut their hair in fear.

If you have at least eight inches of hair to spare, I implore you to take the plunge and donate to Locks Of Love, Pantene’s Beautiful Lengths, or another similarly worthy organization at your next haircut. They will turn it into something meaningful for someone who desperately needs the hand of God to tap them on the shoulder and make them feel lucky.
