How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: I stopped trying to turn my life into what everyone else around me thought it needed to be...the things that had been programmed into me for so long. I don't have to be perfect. I don't have to be interested in all the same things that my friends and family are into. When I excel at the things I enjoy, I don't have to worry so much that I suck at the things everyone else was pushing on me. I just needed to find my place. Read how I did it…

Hearing about how much work people actually go through to fix their hair, I realized that it wasn’t that I was having a hard time with my hair, rather I didn’t appreciatge how easy mine actually was. I have hair that no matter how I cut it isn’t horrible, it’s soft and shiney, has a slight wave that’s easy to turn into curls but just as easily be straightened as well. I like keeping it black, that color really grew on me more than I thought it would (makes me look tough, LOL). It’s never going to have a hairstyle that is just wash and go, but I’m learning that almost nobody has that (and bald isn’t an option for me right now). I’ll just love it and leave it and worry about more important things!
The hubby moved my big computer armoir in there, sans computer which is now in the guest room. We have the tv in it, and it’s nice because I can shut the doors and it would APPEAR as though we don’t have a tv in our room and can relax…or something like that anyway!
