Hairxplosion!

        Blue. Purple. Blue. Purple. Blue-purple. Blurple?
        I've been thinking about dying (part) of my hair for quite a while.  I've even scheduled a day to have my sister help me do it, just to chicken out late at night with my brain screaming "NO NO -- NOT OKAY -- WHAT IF EVERYTHING??"  So I haven't.  Yet.  But I still really want to.
        When I think about dying my hair, I can't really think of a reason to do it except "because I want to", which is a legitimate reason.  And then I think of why I shouldn't and my brain goes, "Just do it.  Anyone who cares otherwise is just a banshee."  But who knew my brain was inconsistent?
        "Never mind.  You can't wear brown if you have purple hair!  Ew!"
        "Just forget about your fears.  Don't fear the banshee."
        "What if... (random excuse that makes no sense involving color guard)?"
        "So what if... (random excuse that makes no sense involving color guard?"
        "Okay.  Worst thing that can happen is it doesn't look good and it washes/grows out."
        "But what if I look like a lion in a bad paint-by-colors???"

        But I really should just do it.  As one semi-rational part of my brain said, the worst that can happen is I don't like it and I let it grow and wash out.

        ...

        "BUT WHAT IF EVERYTHING??"
        You only have two more years of being a teenager and people believing it's "okay" for you to do this.  Just do it.

        "Okay."
