Update: New Beginnings

I have no idea where to even begin. So much has happened in my life between my last post and right now. I am officially back in school for physical therapy, happier with life overall, single, and recently changed my image. Last week I made the major decision to go natural just because I am super active and it would make maintaining my hair a whole lot easier! So yesterday I went to hair salon with hopes of getting a trim and curl but ended up telling her to get the clippers and start cutting. She (my hair stylist) thought I was completely crazy, but she already knows that I'm a spur of the moment kind of person so she's used to it. So I now I have less than an inch of curly hair on my head. This definitely was shocking but it will take me some getting used to. My grandmother doesn't like it and is stuck in her old ways and beliefs such as: girls are supposed to have long hair not look like a boy or I don't like it it's too short. But what I tried to tell her nicely was that it is my life, my decision, my head, my hair, my body and I will do with it what ever I want. If you don't like short hair then fine but it is my decision and I do not need to do certain things just to make other people happy. My happiness is most important. I will be posting pictures soon :) Maybe I will do a video as well...who knows!

until next time,
Ashley

A New Direction

Have you ever looked back to the past and came to realize how when you where younger there was always someone you wanted to be like personality wise or dress like? Funny how when you get older, shit starts to set in and get real. You start to think of how you can set yourself apart from others. Be different. Stick out. Ya know, develop your own thang. Not by any means is finding yourself easy. Trust me. I know. Some people don't find themselves until..well..when they consider it to late. I can't tell ya'll that I've found my damn self but I can say that I am still in the process and I can share my thoughts with you.

I recently decided to change my college major from Fashion Retail Merch to Physical Therapy. I know, major change. But that's not the crazy part. I feel like I've been on this long as journey just to get ready to start another long ass journey... ya know..? It's a never ending process. Before I changed my major to Fashion Merch it was Fashion Design. Obviously, I've come to terms with the fact that life will throw me in any direction. A direction that I am not prepared for. A direction that I don't wanna take. A direction that I don't wanna take but would be best for me in the long run. Ya get what I'm saying here?
