New Hair, New Me...NOT!

So, I have dyed my hair red. It is quite the change from my old blonde hair. I feel like I am a whole new person. With being a new person I should change my personality, my thinking, my likes, my dislikes...everything about me, at least that's what I wanted to happen. The only reason why I wanted to dye my hair was because I thought it would look cool. I was ready for a new look. But now that I think about it I think it was more than my look that I wanted to change. I wanted my life to be different. I didn't want to be in the situations I'm in now. I wanted my thinking to change and how I reacted to situations. But that's the thing, when you change your hair color that is the only thing you're changing, nothing else. I was expecting to be a new person. Unfortunately I'm not. But I can't expect just because I changed one part of my life that everything else will change too. That's not how it works. If I want to change my thinking I'm going to have to work on that and nothing else. Changing my hair color won't do anything to change the way I think. 


So, I am still the same Ashley. I have the same personality and likes and dislikes, and unfortunatley I still think and react to situations the same way. But I'm working on that. And now I know that changing one thing about yourself doesn't change everything else. You have to put the effort in and and work on those other things you want to change, and that's what I'm going to do.  


Hopefully over time (I don't know how much time), I will change the way I think and that will change the way I view life.
