Day 75
So here I am, just thinking about the upcoming weekend and how I am hoping it will be some fun when I get a text message. Now, of course just like several other people, I get a couple text messages every day, but this text message was no ordinary text message. This text message...was from CBS NEWS ATLANTA! As you all know, I have been in contact with CBS recently about the possibility that they will do a story on me and air it on their news station. Well, after long talks with the producers, they have decided to put me on! We have decided to film on Wednesday morning, but I don't know many details yet. She told me they will call on Monday with everything I need to know. This is such a huge break. I can share my story and help so many people! I am just so happy right now.
This came at the perfect time because I have fallen in another bullying story. I have had a really hard time finding myself. I have no idea who I am, what my favorite food, or color, or anything is. I constantly change my appearance and my interests just to fit in with the people around me. So, the day before yesterday I decided to change the color of my hair from platinum blonde, to burgundy because people kept making fun of me and were calling me Malfoy. (That is the guy from Harry Potter) In the beginning people said it as a joke, then eventually it just started sounding mean, and I didn't want to get compared to a boy too, so I decided to color it. Problem with putting burgundy hair color on top of platinum blonde hair..it turns greyish,burgundy,purple. Long story short...it didn't look good. I went to work the next day with a wig in my bag because I wasn't sure it looked natural enough for me to not wear a wig. After a little while, my boss told me it would be best for me to wear the wig, so I did.
At the end of the shift, I decided to take my wig off because I was tired and my head itched. I grabbed my belongings and left for the day. While at school, I received a phone call from a co-worker explaining to me that when I left, more employees saw my hair and spent several hours laughing about it and making fun of me behind my back. I was devastated. I didn't see why my physical appearance had to be a laughing matter or any of their business. I felt like I was right back in high school. My day was ruined. I had a horrible day at school, and I just wanted to go home. Not to mention...I cried.
So after school, I got home and right away colored my hair purple because it was the only thing I could think of to do to make it look good without applying any bleach to my already completely dried out hair. When I came to work today, I already had my wig on. I didn't talk to the people that said those hurtful things about me because I honestly just emotionally couldn't handle pretending that I wasn't hurt. At some point of the night, someone saw a small piece of my hair sticking out of my wig and said that I need to stop coloring my hair and blah blah blah. Once again there they went talking badly about me. I just wanted it to stop. I left work today with my wig on. I couldn't stand the possibility of what would happen if they all saw how bright purple my hair is.
So that is what has been happening. Great news on top of a crappy week. I decided to post this picture (again) from last year. This is exactly what my hair looks like now, but it is a little bit shorter now. Like I said, it is different and it is very purple.
Hope you like it!
