My Hair Was Cut

This morning before i showered I decided that my hair was a little too thick. So I took out the thinning shears and thinned it out. I cut about as much hair as half that was still on my head.

After washing and conditioning it, it felt much more manageable and altogether I liked it better. I didn't know this would be a precurser to help me relate with someone in only a few hours.

I met with her and noticed right away her hair was very stylish with low lights and highlights and seemed to move just right. I assumed she was the case manager for someone at a local homeless shelter. I came to find that she was homeless herself and for a couple seconds wondered how she could afford that hair styling.

But she talked and seemed to trust me from the "get go". She said, "I'm homeless now and not working because it's not safe where I used to live. My ex shaved my head bald but the case worker at the shelter gave me this wig."
