So I have officially jumped the broom and I am one year older! The big 22 comes with a lot of excitement (internally at least) because I am definitely propelling myself one step closer to my goals and my dreams. It's funny because this past weekend the "slug" in me was awakened and for once I had no desire to do much of anything, besides reluctantly checking my email for good news on jobs or internships. To no surprise of mine did anything come up, but I was graced with the sensation to declare publicly that I am a fashion junkie with over 5 magazine subscriptions, a project runway addiction and the closet fantasy of picking up where I left off in high school and sewing.
Crazy! Crazy! I tell you, because here it is four years out of high school, major life transitions, tragically failed "romances", countless journals about my road to self discovery....and NOW I think I want to be what I wanted to be when I was in middle school. Let's not forget that in high school I had dreams of being a fashion journalist until someone conveniently stomped all over those. Nevertheless, I'm excited to be 22, to be in love and to still be on the road to the never ending path of self discovery. It's funny, because I purchased a book titled "The 10 Women You'll be before 30" (which I have yet to read) and to no surprise of mine I've already encountered two post versions of myself....
As I bitterly question the root of the "post me's", I also embrace this "new" me, or at least the me that I have uncovered in the process of being layered with my old skins. Fortunately, some qualities are here to stay; blogging MORE FREQUENTLY being one of them, my romance for writing being another and my passion for being possible, because someone* helped me realized that impossible only means im-possible.
Well...I'm back to psychoanalyzing this recent Harper's Bazaar! Still perplexed that Naomi actually had the balls to do this spread despite the unforgiving controversy I'm sure someone had to realize it would cause. For more insight I definitely suggest you check out www.blackandugly.com @Riffy did a FABULOUS cover on the story!

Great blog. Life is a journey and sometimes we have to grow through the bad/sad/crappy/nonfun stuff to truly appreciate the other times in life when things go our way. I think everyone can relate to some of the pitfalls you have encountered, I know I have certainly met them on my road.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing to watch your growth sometimes because it seems like without the help of others you are becoming all you should be on your own. I am interesting in seeing your progress from my comfortable distance my friend.
Peace and Blessing.
