Description First self-portrait in such a long time. I was long overdue for a change, so I cut off my hair. Personally, it was more than just a haircut. Insecurities used to eat me alive, so I would hide behind my hair. Honestly, It took me so many years to become comfortable enough with myself for such a change. I've grown out of who I used to be. So, here's to a new start and a brand new me...

P.S. I've been posting stuff like crazy on Facebook, so I would truly appreciate if you "liked" my page.

You sure don't look insecure in this photo on the contrary you look very confident and comfortable with who you are.
I know it's not easy to fight insecurities cause I used to do the same as you, hide under my hair, until I realized that I was my own worst nightmare and it was me who could save myself from myself, confusing but true.
Props for becoming a person you want to be and keep it up.

Being bi sucks. I can appreciate the art, be jealous of you, and be attracted to you all at the same time. boo.

This for some reason makes me think of Lady Gaga's male alter-ego, Joe Calderone. I think that's a good thing.
