I'm in the process of growing out my hair. Lucky for me, so is my roommate.

Right now, my hair is in the awkward "frat boy" stage. The awkward stage doesn't last very long in the grand scheme of things, but it can feel like forever. Beyond that, every stage between your initial pixie cut and your goal length can feel like an awkward stage.

Here are some of the most common things I've heard since I decided to grow my hair out.

"Are you growing your hair out?"

Nope, I love this length. "Frat boy" is the aesthetic I've been aiming for!

*hair grows a little* "Wow, your hair has gotten so long!"

Has it? Has it, really?

"At least you're pretty!"

That doesn't make me any happier about this mop, but thanks. I guess.

"Why don't you just cut it?"

I don't look like this by choice, but no. I'm not gonna cut it.

"Short hair must be so much easier to style!"

Yeah! If you think that pomade, straightening, hairspray, and only being able to shower in the morning is "easy".

"Your eyebrows look really good!"

They're front and center, so believe me–I know they look good. They better.

"I like your hair better long."

Good thing I'm growing it out, then.

"You look like a lesbian now."

Hair length is synonymous with sexual orientation, so... Yeah. I get that.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.
