Eye-dentity

I feel like Anne Shirley. You know, when she tried to dye her hair black to cover her signature and self-hated red hair? Vanity has driven me to destroy a feature I didn't realize was such a part of me until it was gone (or, rather, severely tweezed). I had my eyebrows waxed, and now where my moderately thick "chi-signifying" brows once sat is a fake-ish arch reminiscent of the eyebrows of a drag queen. Really, when I told the girl to go easy as I'd never had this done before, she must have thought I said "I have some skin hiding under there that hasn't seen the sun in 27 years- see if you cant strip it bare, so that the world can mock the freakish result." Really, it was an honest mistake.

Okay, so maybe it's not THAT bad- but I never realized how much my eyebrows made me look like ME until I stripped them away. I should have remembered the wisdom of Marilla, and left well enough alone.
