Dreads :]

I want to get dreadlocks. :]
I think they'll look awesome and it'll be fun to try something new.
I've always thought they would be cool but it was one of those "someday I'll try it" things. I'm actually seriously considering it though now. I'll have to save up a little money first cause I want to get them done professionally and I'm going to have to take really good care of them if I want them to look good. I'll need to get special shampoos and stuff.

Also, I think it'll be a cool thing to experience. I know people will put me down and stereotype me for it. I know some people will judge me for it. They think they know why I did it without even talking to me. It's really annoying though that I have to think about all of this before wearing my hair a certain way. I already know what my family will think. Which really bothers me. I think that if you love someone, it doesn't matter what they do or how they look, you should be ok with it. For instance, my sister got a tattoo on her back when she came to see Kayla's graduation. I was shocked because my family started talking about her behind her back. They all think that she's throwing her life away. I don't. I love my sister and it she has a tattoo on her back that doesn't change who she is. It seems like something so simple that everyone should understand. It's like another form of racism. And more people need to know the truth. It's wrong to judge people like that. And this is partially why I'm doing it and it'll give me some great perspective as well. I know I probably judge people all the time because of things like this without even thinking about it. So I need to realize that that's not what my heart should be like. Anyways this has gone way to far in what I've thought. It's messed up that all of this crap comes with getting a new freaking hairstyle.

Me getting dreads isn't going to change who I am. I'm not going to start smoking pot or something insane like that. It really hurts me a lot to think of how people will change their thoughts about me the way I change my hairstyle. It shouldn't be like that.

Anyways I've made up my mind. If I don't like them or something. I can just take them out. But yeah I'm not doing it to be different. I think that's stupid. Everyone is already different. I'm doing it for two reasons.

1.because I think I'll like it and want to experience it.

2. Because it's so terribly wrong that I wouldn't do my hair different because of what people might think about me.

If I don't do something that I want to do because of what people will think about me, I'm letting ignorant people control me. And I'm sick of ignorant people being in control.

I'm not stupid. It really hurts me to know what some people have already thought about it and I don't even have them yet.
whatever though.
