I did write that resignation letter, as I couldn't go against my intense desire and feelings regarding my hair. After I quit my work, things became worse. I was kicked out from my flat (again, without cause given by the landlord), my money was quickly gone since I had to pay my past-due bills (perfect timing, sheesh), and my parents really didn't leave a fortune so I couldn't count on that.

At that moment, the only relationship I had was with that frightening but, I must say, alluring lady (it turns out, she was a distant relative). I had nowhere to go. I went there and requested to stay for a few days in order to find a new place, which would have been challenging at the time. To my surprise, she agreed to let me remain at her apartment (which was kind of her, but also a little strange given that we were officially strangers). She also said I could stay for free for as long as I needed, but there were some rather strange requirements for that.

I was on the verge of homelessness and desperately needed a place to stay. She gave me several days to consider the terms she suggested, and strangely enough, my body and mind wanted to accept it, so I did…

After a month, Mistress Athena had assisted me in obtaining employment. Yes, calling her Mistress was one of the requirements I agreed to in order to stay at her house for free. Hold on, I never told you the conditions, I'll list them now.
-I was told by Athena to call her Mistress.
-Only wear a specific outfit.
-She'll assist me in styling my hair each day.
-At the conclusion of each week, she insisted on checking and measuring my hair.
-I had to use certain haircare and facecare products and keep my hair at the best standard possible.
-Lose weight as much as she desires.

Mistress Athena secured me a position at a local swimsuit and lingerie shop owned by one of her friends who was in dire need of help. I needed the job to start making money so that I could look for another location, but I was wondering if men really worked at those kinds of businesses. Also, my hair grew even longer with Mistress's fabulous hair grooming which really melted my heart and eased my mind!

Mistress wanted to make sure my outfit and hair looked amazing before I left for the work. In this case, she gave me a ponytail, (which I actually don't mind). Even though I didn't understand why she thought my hair would be the most important thing to take care of on my first day at this new job, I was nonetheless grateful for everything she did for me.
