After 6 months of growing I cut... I just wasn't ready to grow it long yet. Too much responsibility for me at the moment. As you all know, growing long hair is a lot more than just not getting your hair cut. It takes a lot if will power and I really don't have it right now. It was taking too much out of me. Don't worry, I will grow it back. I've decided that I will get my last haircut on Dec. 31 and it will be like my New Year's resolution to grow my hair out. It will be a good way to observe my progress throughout the year too. I'm kind of disappointed that I had to cut it but it's just one of those things. I'll still be lurking around a lot and posting occasionally. Oh, by the way, I cut to about 3/8" length all around. Yeah, pretty short. Feels nice though. Well, I'm off to my new job orientation now (no, I did not cut it for this!). Take care guys.

My condolences, dude...
One thing I found helps a lot with the patience aspect of growing long hair is to not think about your hair while you're growing it. The only attention I ever pay to mine is when I wash it. Of course, it's a complete bitch to manage on a windy day when I decide to wear my hair down, but I'm not an outdoorsy type of person, so that's of little consequence to me.
In any event, good luck!
Follow your feelings...if it 'feels nice' maybe that is telling you something...
The new year is not far away, so it`s not too bad.
Good luck for your resolution to let it grow long. While it`s short, don`t make the mistake of neglecting it. Take care of it no matter its length.
Last month, you said:
"When I think about having my hair long it makes me really excited... I don't feel like me with short hair."
Who do you feel like now that you cut it?
Just wondering.
Hmmm, well... I do feel sort of weird. I guess I do feel like me, I am just more comfortable in long hair. I don't know, I just gave in I guess. I'm weak.

Bah! You're an embarrassment to the movement! Be gone, ye devil! You've no place here!
Har!
(just kidding)

Just keep it short. Don't bother growing it.
If you really wanted long hair, you wouldn't have cut it.
There ya go! That's the kind of support we look for around here!
NOT!
