Connor 11: "Ok People, Pull Yourselves Together."

The year 2020 has definitely been an experience. Despite the fact that it’s only early March, this year has been jam packed with multiple midlife crises. I have had a plethora of new experiences already, and I feel like I need a minute to reflect on that and move on. To put it into words by the wisest being I know, I need to “pull it together.” As a coping method, I have decided to try something new to see if it helps me through this insanity. I know that some people go through a breakup or large life-altering event and dye their hair, so I decided to try that out. My hair is purple now.
During the summer, I bleached my bangs and decided to dye them blue. After the dye washed out, I was left with light brown highlights to accent my dark dark hair. My plan was just to dye the highlights a vibrant dark purple, however it ended up only making my whole head appear one reddish brownish black color. Either way, it was a successful crisis hair dying, and that is all that matters.
Crisis averted. It’s time to go back to being mellow, passive aggressive, and calm. Maybe I should find a better way to deal with problems so I don’t end up with weird tattoos or something. Maybe I should take up meditation? All I have really gained is now my hair is a different color, but it has helped me feel a little more calm. We’ll see how long that lasts.
