Making Changes

I got my hairstyle changed during the vacation. It's now curly, puffier and shorter than before. I certainly love how it is not as straight and plain as it use to be; whatever I wear now, I have a complete look because my hair looks nice and polished. I got a lot of compliments when I came back to school and met people- there's no better way to start a new semester.
Before going to the salon, I spent much time thinking whether or not to make a change to the hair. I was afraid that the outcome wouldn't be satisfying. Hair does magic to one's appearance, but sometimes it can cause tragedy as well. Anyway, I stepped into the salon eventually and after two hours, I went home with a brand-new look.
What I really want to talk about is the courage to make changes. I'm definitely one of those who get all cozy in the comfort zone and often refuse to step out of it. I love my life and I like the way it is now-  this is what I said to defend myself. However, from the experience of changing hairstyle, I realized that when I refuse to make changes, I'm letting go a lot of possibilities. I may be letting of the opportunity to look better, to know more, to see the world in a totally different way, or even to become a better person. To be open-minded and try new things- the idea still sounds a little bit scary but now I'm aware that this is going to be the most important task for me through my entire life.
