Blue, Bold and Beautiful!

Even as a young child I always was worried about being too main stream... It started in preschool and elementary. I had the hardest time admitting that I enjoyed the same things that majority liked. I loved discovering my own style of movies, music and books I didn't want my peers and society to tell me what I should read and watch. I wanted live MY life and become MYself. Now I don't focus on being or not being main stream... bit I still focus on MY life and MY self. I like what I WANT to like, popular or not. Trendy or old school... I like what I like and I love what I love. 


Through out the years become much more bold on my individualism. Do I  do it to seek attention? Oh goodness no! Do I get attention? Oh goodness yes! I welcome the attention, I embrace it. I accept attention that I get constantly due to my clothing, behavior and interest. I want to be an example to others you don't have to fit a mold... I want to let every soul shine from within. I want everyone to know and believe that I am not afraid to be who I really am.


This weekend I spent a good few hours from 9:30pm to about 12:30 am in one of my best friend, Anita's, salon as she worked on my  hair. The out come was a surprise. Blue in some place, blonde in others and mostly aqua.  In fact, a good 30ish minutes or so near the end she wouldn't let me look at any mirrors and/or keep my eyes close. Due to the surprise, lack of sleep and a caffeine hangover when I saw the finish project I didn't quite know how to react or my feelings on it. But as the day past I become more in love with my hair. I love the shock I still get every time I catch myself in a reflection. Shock can help remind up that we are still human. It keeps us on our feet!


My hair serves as a reminder to me, and hopefully others, not on the rely on what you have been taught  your whole life to be normal...
