Why'd you cut it

I think

My short hair makes me look younger. I know that is only because the last time my hair was so short

I was sixteen years old, that's ten years now, and my mother loved my pixie cut. It became synonymous with her definition of me, for better or worse, her oldest child. Small, soft, light. 

January 29th 2013 would have been her 54th birthday.

This was her last birthday gift to me. A copy of Colette's "The Vagabond", as she had always viewed me as such. Wandering in the grocery store as a little girl, wandering the streets of New York City as a 21 year old.

Happy Birthday Mom.

Love, for always,

Your Vagabond.
