An Incomplete Girl in a Japanese World

It’s been a bad weekend (mental health wise). On Friday, I got my hair done. It was quite a dramatic change. It’s now pink. It’s so different and cute, and I’m absolutely in love with it. That was great. When I posted it on the interents, I was overwhelmed with “cute” comments followed by “love it” comments. It was so nice and a total self-esteem boost. That was good. Then it all went downhill. I had plans to meet two friends Friday night after karaoke. They both canceled. Sad and feeling abandoned, I came home. Mamoru saw my hair (which I know he had already seen on Facebook) and said 「ヤンキ」to me as soon as I walked in the door. Basically it means “punk” and he says that to me all the time and I know it was meant to be a joke but fuck if it didn’t crush me…
