Leave the past in the past, stop worrying about how your mother wouldn't let you get a perm, stop worrying about whether women like the perm or not and therefore you must rebel against them - and just focus on the present and the future, and WHAT IS IN YOUR HEART. Do you *still* want to wear a perm or is that what you are doing in stiff rebellion to everyone (your mother, women who don't like it)? If you do, then do and let that be the end of it. If you don't, then get rid of it and stop living for other people. Whether you know it or not, if you act based upon what someone did or didn't let you do in the past or based on whether someone will or won't like your hair today, you are being controlled - even if you profess rebellion to all control. Your rebellion is the manifestation of the control.
Whew! Alright, the psychology lesson is over.
Have a good night RM,

SummerChild, you and I are actually on the same wavelength as to what I am trying to make a point on, we are just not quite
===========>here<=========== yet:
I am in essence doing what I am doing, and not really caring what anyone else says or thinks; the perm is still there, and I still love it.
My point on getting rid of it is that I would only get rid of it if I was in a committed relationship with a woman and she absolutely despised it and insisted that I get my hair cut; I would then get rid of it to be a blessing to her. Thereby, I would be sacrificing/forsaking something I really liked and enjoyed for the benefit of her happiness and to be a blessing to her, not because I was "living for other people"
Your post was on the right track; it just indicated the wrong motive for why I would've gotten rid of it.
Thanx for the psychology lesson
Have a good one.
