I had my hair long for a long time. I got it cut short not long after Prom last year (I would have got it cut earlier, but I wanted it long for the updo :P), and I loved it. Sooo much weight off my shoulders, no pun intended.
From your profile picture, your face looks like it could look good with short or long hair. My advice is, if you do decide to cut it short, go in steps. Start with a-little-above-the-shoulders hair, then if you still want it shorter, go to chin-length, etcetera. I did that, until I got to jaw-length. It looked really good for me. Although I'm growing it out a little longer now because I'm a fickle creature. :P
I have super-straight hair, so I can't offer advice about styling. But I have a friend with super-curly hair who just got a short bob, and her curls fit just perfectly into the shape. Definitely get layers, though! My sister has curly hair too, and hers was a nightmare before she got layers put in. It makes it look more like a modern classy bob and less like a murderous clown afro.
And, if you do decide to cut it, donate your cut hair to Locks of Love! All it costs is postage. ;3
Although, I think you look very pretty the way you are too. =)
