Shy

How many of us struggle with shyness? Anyone who has met Kali would likely describe her as the epitome of such. We all know someone like this, as they present as obvious. Its a little more difficult to identify the closet types who hide their shyness behind their vehicles (road rage), a false persona,

a 500.00 suit / or Stilettos, or even a Kali Bear (mascot).

Shyness can be managed very well but it never really goes away. Those of us (yes, I am making an apprehensive admission here...) can learn to project their character, but it still scary as H- E- double hockey sticks sometimes.

I have discovered a program that can help (as there really is no cure). It's called a Massacure.

Try walking around with pink hair for a month. Kinda hard to disappear into a crowd, sit in the back row type of thing.... Might as well lock yourself in and force yourself to do something that scares you (I hear that builds character), besides aren't we encouraged to do something scary everyday? I do. This way the shy person kills two birds with one stone. They are trying on their big girl panties and spreading awareness / fundraising at the same time. Once the hair comes off, only 1/3 of the population will think you are a cancer patient, so this will force you to deal with the silent stares and gestures of sympathy. You will have to explain the thing (or the "program" you signed up for, succumbed to...) and voila - you are talking to people. Yay! And no one will ever know that you later barfed in your car on the way home.

And for you nerds out there.... it's your opportunity to switch things up. Pink hair means "chic magnet". Its way more effective than borrowing your sisters baby or puppy for a walk to the park. Looking for a bit of an edge? A mohawk will make you feel like Fonzie.

And for the seniors.... I hear that pink is the new blue. Take 10 years off! Ladies.... it's just a known fact that most women look smashing in pink, so where am I going with this?

Make your News Years resolution one that reflects conquering your shyness and doing something meaningful. I will .... again.
