The seasons of life

I tend to spend alot of time by myself, I think it's because I'm single and also because I enjoy not being around people and being clouded with their thoughts. It's during these times of isolation that I think ALOT!! I probably think too much, well one afternoon I was enjoying lunch at one of my favorite local spots, when I walked in there the sun was shining bright and as quickly as I can say BANANA it started to rain. This reminded me much of my life and the life of others. Things can be going so good and then BAM, ligthning flashes and the shit hits the fan. I always have to remind myself that the rain will not last forever, even if it last for a long time, months, years, whatever, the clouds will go away and the sun will shine. But this also means that the sun cannot shine all the time either. Beautiful weather is not going to be around 24/7 365 days a year. So you may be having perfect spring weather for months but be prepared for a drizzle or a monsoon. Understanding that no experience in life is constant, that no feeling in life will be forever helps put things in perspective and also helps you make the best out of a situation. Rainy days can be beautiful, I have come up with some of my best poems when I am at my lowest point. I appreciate my life the most when I've been crying for hours or days. And when the weather is beautiful, I appreciate it, I love it and I don't take it for granted. So remember y'all that nothing is forever, no feeling is constant, all good things come to an end, but all bad things end too, make the best of it and be grateful for life and it's beauty.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!

Valentine's Day is approaching fast and by fast I mean tomorrow. I know it can be somewhat of a sour day for us single folks but it doesn't have to be. I have spent pretty much every Valentine's Day alone and I have always enjoyed myself. I believe Valentine's day can include your loved ones, such as family and friends, not just those you have romantic feelings for. So I make sure I spend time or call those that are near and dear. Just because you don't have a "Valentine" doesn't mean it's the end of the world, go out with friends or family, or go out by yourself to a place you know too many people won't be "boo'ed" up, like a dive bar. LOL!! Well anyway I hope you all enjoy your Valentine's Day and remember that even if you don't have a significant other you are still loved by many!!!

-Peace and Blessings

Having a bad hair week!!!

Oh my hair has been trippin' lately. It's like no matter what style I try it looks a mess. I'm actually ok with it looking a mess but I miss when I was having good hair days for weeks at a time. I tried two-strand twist a couple weeks back, they looked a mess...I tried flat twist to the back on dry hair, I put entirely too much coconut oil on my hair, and my hair looked a greasy mess...I tried finger coils and the right side of my head looked so cute but the left side was on some other ish...it looked a mess. I'm tired of wigs, I'm tired of puffs, I'm tired of my failed attempts at styling my hair. I think I'm going to attempt my afro again, it came out so great that one time let's see if lightning can strike twice. I added a pic of it the cute fro...Let's hope I can duplicate it.
