This reminds me. I also miss having long hair sometimes. I used to have 2 feet of hair. I don't miss accidentally lighting it on fire while smoking or pulling hairs out of my throat on waking up, or cleaning up shed hair, but what I do miss is having someone scratch my head.

When I had long hair, I found that girls would look for any excuse to play with it and that meant getting my head scratched. Head scratches feels great under short-haired circumstances, but long hair has a way of pulling on the scalp that makes head scratches so fucking great. Yeah, I totally miss that.

Anyway, I empathize with the urge to chop it all off and feeling shitty about having done it. From what I understand, iron and protein make for lustrous hair and if growing it out is a priority for you, you might check out dietary stuff to encourage good hair growth and to keep your scalp healthy. If nothing else, having a great head of hair is a fantastic thing to donate. Or profit from.
