I dyed my hair red, and got long red extensions. (Think Ariel from The Little Mermaid)
I got thinking, and figured every stage of my adult life can be separated into hair colours (Silly right?)
Age 14: Purple: Just meeting my new friends, who are my best friends today, we were your typical 14 year old girls.Age 15: Burgundy Red: I started to break away from the norm and find my own style, my own music, my own attitude. I was also a very sad 16 year old. I just thought the whole world was against me.
Age 17: Black: I got my first boyfriend, we lasted 6 months and had nothing in common. I learnt the never-say-I-love-you-unless-you-mean-it-lesson.
Age 18: Platinum Blonde: This chapter lasted 4 years and was the longest to date. The start of my relationship with Case, where I lost myself, and instead merged into a girl-boy version of CaseyAndTara. Nobody knew us without the other. A very big mistake to make. Also, the passing away of my Dad happened in this chapter, to which Case was a big fat pillow too. I learnt a lot about myself during this time, nothing I will get into now.
Age 21: Brown: I dyed it to go travelling overseas, a practical move, but my theory still proved valid. During my time overseas I realized how much I had turned into a twosome, rather than the onesome that I should be. I learned how much I didnt, in fact, need Casey.
Age 21: I returned to Australia and dyed it back blonde. Very symbolic this one; I had learned that I very much didn't need to be in my relationship anymore, and that its time was coming close. But refused to accept it.
I am just entering a new chapter, so why not have new colour to match?
This chapter will be all about me, and only me. No more TaraandCasey.
And I am ready to embrace it.
It's all about me, living in Melbourne, meeting all new people, remembering my old friends, and picking up where I left off when I was 17.
Finding Tara as she was supposed to be.
I'm so happy I was blessed with the ability to see a bright side. Thankyou Mother Nature.
