I certainly did not intend it to be a flying bomb. My sincerest wishes for your spiritual success and satisfaction accompany this post and that one as well!

Well I can't argue with this! But my problem seems to be that rather than dealing with all this junk, I get tired of feeling "uncomfortable" and try to push myself back into my little box. I am refusing to do that this time, because I want to deal with this and move on!!!
On a side note, you were right that the standards were of no consequence to me, I felt what I felt in my mind, but found it no problem to go along with the status quo. For some reason a breaking point came when I realized that I worried that some people I cared about would be disappointed or upset if I cut my hair, and at the same time was open and above board about my TV habits (Such as my love for Buffy the Vampire Slayer), one day I realized that chances are some people who could care less about my hair, would nevertheless be shocked by my TV habits, and I don't know, it all seemed silly somehow.
The truth is, my "convictions" about these things haven't changed, just my actions.
