Hello, and a hearty welcome to my little corner of webspace.
My name is Kelly, I’m 29 years old, and today I figured out my favorite hair color.
I’ll explain.
Ever since I went to college, I have changed my hair color religiously. It was a fun dorm room activity, it was an artistic expression, and it was never permanent. Over time, it became more of a habit. Each haircut meant a total change. I’ve lost count of the colors I’ve had… everything from subtle highlights to darkest brown with bleach blonde chunks underneath to fiery red and orange. I’ve occasionally forgotten what color my hair naturally is.
In the last 3 years, my life has changed dramatically. I got pregnant for the first time, delivered a little boy, got pregnant again 3 months later, moved to another state, and delivered a second little boy 360 days after the first. Somewhere in the midst of this I picked up a lovely case of postpartum depression that’s still hanging on for dear life and I lost any sense of who I am. But that’s another post.
The point is, this morning I looked in the mirror and felt like I was looking at myself for the first time in years. And I can’t tell you how amazing that was.
My name is Kelly. I’m 29 years old. And I have auburn hair.
