Don't Steal My Thunder
Chapter One: I was born with it
So, yeah, I was born. I've been born for twenty two years. I'm sure you know if you have been following but who has the time. I don't even have enough time to reflect. Maybe I can find a few moments to retell you moments from my life. I can't always hide behind these black shirts and black pants with black shoes. It used to be hair .
Long brown curly hair would cover my face. I had it long since the 6th grade. Not much upkeep, it would just form by itself. It started because I wanted it. I didn't really know if long hair was cool or not but by all means, it definitely was on me. My hair didn't let it grow out into a bowl cut. The curls would flow down my face onto my shoulders like a women's. At work I would mistakenly be called a girl from customers because of it. It was pretty cool.
It would grow and grow and I would hardly notice. Teenagers spend all their time looking into mirrors to pop pimples and fix their split ends. I didn't. I had my own shield, a mask that served me many functions. Kept the sunlight out of my eyes which helped me nap in class. Long, thick hair to look through so I could cheat on chemistry tests. But the more I used it, the more it started to identify me.
