Like my haircut defines my lifestyle.

of five flannels
three pairs of mom jeans
a pair of utility boots
and a gift card to Supercuts
because that's the big gay warning flag
"be careful with me, I'm a lesbian"
and that's the only thing it could mean.

Not
"I've had the same shoulder length for months and it's time for a change"
Not

Just
"I thought I'd like the way I look."
