why do i ever brush my hair?

Seriously, every time I put little to no effort into getting ready in the morning I get SO many compliments.
Today before I even left the house my roommates were like "I love your hair when you let it run wild & free."
The boys I sit by in Spanish class were all super interactive with me today, which is a big deal because usually I try so hard and they just hate talking. Clearly they were drawn in by my lack of effort today.
Then my nontrad friend I saw between classes was like "You look so cute today, really alert for having 3 hours of sleep."

All of this positive feedback really made me question if I ever want to put effort into getting ready again.
WHY TRY?!

I should probably just embrace the hippie lifestyle and go au natural.
Stop shaving too, that would probably be the highlight of a natural lifestyle.
No brushing my hair & no shaving my other hair.
Then on the rare day I actually put effort in everyone would be like "WOW!!! Está buena!"

I can't bring myself to fully embrace this lifestyle though.
It's partially a self respect thing.
And partially that I don't trust people enough to let them validate my beauty.
You know what tainted me from taking compliments to heart?
This movie.
Yeah, girls are mean. 

Someday I'll move away to the Amazon and be able to live with people who don't have ridiculous ideals of beauty. 
I'd love to embrace the biodiversity down there, this rainforest constitutes the largest collection of living plants and animal species in the world.
2.5 million insect species
10,000+ plants
2,000 birds & mammals
1 in 10 known species in the world are in this rainforest
WHAT AN ADVENTURE.
