How to reinvent myself
It made me
Very Happy :D
 "A really good experience, and it showed me that with a little change it´s posible to do a lot of things"
How I did it: (I´m going to write it in english, but i´ll
put it in spanish after the text, so if I made a mistake and someone undesrtands spanish, will tell me and I´ll corect it)I always thougth that a change on the hair, was a real change, but it couldn´t reinvent yourself. I was wrong.I always liked dreadlocks (Rastas) but on other people. I was dark blond, with a very, very! long hair, and i realy loved it. But i started to think that dreadlocks will fit me, and i was thinking, why not? why i should not do it? It´s just hair, it will grow up always! But, it was difficult, and i wasnt decided at all. One day a friend, told me that before easter, both we had to have dreadlocks, she just in the back, and me in all my hair. I thought it was a good idea to put a final date, because if not, i knew i wouldnt do it, but for a time I forget it. Until one day, one very special day, a sunday, when i decided that, that sundays was the last sunday i “had hair”, that i didn´t have dreadlocks. I dind´t know, where i will do them, who…. I just knew, that i will do them.I wont tell how i knew the boy that made me the dreadlocks and all the story.But, next friday, at 15:30, after eating in his home with his girfriend, they started me to make me the dreadlocks… I just couldnt belive it. My hair, my lovely hair (of course, evrybody who i asked if i should do dreadlocks told me that i was crazy)but i was there, doing me dreadlocks. When Pablo, the boy, told me, here is your first dreadlock, touch it, and i did it, whow…. i think i felt like, i really did it!And it wasn´t just because of the dreadlocks. It was because of evrything. I finished something (i´m so lazy and i always left things half done), i finished something that i really like!!! I won my fears, I won the thought of “what will people think…”I don´t know at all how it happend, but the change of my hairdo really reinvented, change, myself.En español:Siempre pensé que un cambio en el pelo, era un cambio real, pero que no podría reinventarte a ti mismo. Estaba equivocada.Siempre me habían gustado las rastas, pero en otra gente. Yo tenia el pelo de un rubio oscuro, y muy, muy! largo y realmente me encantaba. Pero empecé a pensar que me quedarían bien, y pensaba, ¿Por qué no? ¿Por qué no debería hacerlo? Es solo pelo, volverá a crecer! Pero era difícil, y no estaba decidida del todo. Un día una amiga me dijo que antes de semana santa, ambas deberíamos tener las rastas hechas, ella solo en la parte de atrás, y yo en todo mi pelo. Pensé que seria una buena idea ponerle una fecha tope, porque si no, sabia que no lo haría, aunque por un tiempo me olvide de ello. Hasta un dia, un dia muy especial, un domingo, cuando decidi que aquel domingo seria el útlimo dia que “tendria pelo”, que no tendria rastas. No sabia donde me las haria, quen me las haria… Solo sabia que me las haria.No contare como conoci al chico que me hizo las ratas y toda la historia.Pero el viernes siguiente, a las 15:30, despues de comer en su casa con su novia, empezaron a hacerme rastas. No acababa de creermelo. Mi pelo, mi precioso pelo (por supeusto, todo el mundo al que le pregunte que si me quedarian bien las rastas penso que estaba loca)Pero ahi estaba yo, haciendome rastas. cuando Pablo, el chico que me hacia las rastas, me dijo aqui esta tu primera rasta, tocala, y lo hice. Whooow!... creo que me senti como, realmente lo he hecho!Y no fue solo por las rastas. Era por todo. Habia terminado algo (soy muy vaga y siempre dejo las cosas a medias), habia terminado algo que realmente me gustaba! Habia vencido mis miedos. Habia vencido el pensamiento de “que pensara la gente…”No se como paso del todo, pero el cambio de peinado realmente me reinvento, me cambio a mi misma. Lessons & tips: Don´t think a little change will never change anything important. Just do it if it´s what you want to, without thinking on "what will people think" Resources: Decide what i really wanted. |

How I did it: By realizing that being thankful for what I have, and what is, is better than to be upset about what isn't and what I could have. Who I am isn't something I need to re-do, but I feel that I need to improve on who I am. It's a constant work, but it's so worth it to know that I'm doing what I want to do. Read how I did it…

Reinvention
5 days ago
I have both “love myself” and “reinvent myself” on my list, is that a paradox? Perhaps it’s just me daydreaming that I could be someone else. Yet, I’d like to see both as linked to one another, making small positive changes in my life which would lead me to think differently about myself.

it is all about passion!
when there is spark of passion in my life i used to consider it as something bad (becouse it led to obsession) and did everything possible to extinguish it. and be “normal” again.
not this time!
i only need to be passionate without being obsessed.
e.g. to make my life function and still stay passionate about whatever it is that i currently enjoy.

lately i let go my interior desing desire and i just sank.
like there is no life without it. but i want to build my life around attainable goal and in interior design i depend on my so.
my whole life is revolving about achievement (or lack of it).
how about just being?
maybe to put all goals on hold for a while and see what happens next.
just being what i am.
Z will be ok, always :)
Not even close

I have so much to work on. I feel so low, when i actually know for a fact that i could be so much more.
When i try, i always seem to come up short…very short.
I have a long, long, very long way to go but i won’t let myself down.

Im not happy...

..and the sad truth is I cant really think of a time that I was truly happy with my life. I dont have any close friends that I can relate to and share things with. I have two sisters but they’re twins so theres always this whole 3rd wheel thing. Not to mention we dont have much in common or wait let me rephrase. To let them tell it we have tons of stuff in common but thats only because they choose to ignore the things that Im into that they arent. They bash my taste in music, tattoos, piercings, etc.
All my life I’ve felt like Ive been stuck in a bubble and I see where I want to be and where I want to go and how I want to look but I’ve never done it. I want to get my septum pierced I want to get more ear piercings, I want to get my tattoos done, I want to go to Burning Man….I just want to be happy! I feel so sad on the inside sometimes…my grandmother (passed away in ‘06) was the only person that really truly listened to me. She was the only person I could sit and ramble for hours on end and she would actually be listening to everything I said, lol.
I always tell myself:This will be the year I do it, this will be the year I “reinvent” myself. And I never do. But I mean it this time. Im sick of my life. Im sick of feeling like no one cares. Im sick of being the one left out while everyone else is having fun being themselves.
Im in a shit mood right now so this probably isnt very coherent…oh well.

At what point do you know you’ve reinvented yourself?
Would it be when you feel extremely happy with who you are? Have changed your looks completely, have a whole new attitude?
Well I think thanks to MUSE, i am reinvented, renewed back into the real me and i feel great!
It’s effected me so much, i’m looking for jobs, painting again, smiling, laughing, fearless, it’s incredible how far i’ve come and the thing that amazes me the most is that i’ve done this on my own.
I’ve chopped my hair short, turned it auburn, not afraid to be myself anymore and if people don’t like it then they’re not worth it.
I think i ca truly say, i am reinvented.

this got put on hold for a but, i reverted back into the depressed me and gave up on this.
Until now, i’ve managed to pull myself up a bit and i’m feeling pretty good now.
I feel like a new me already, i want to change my hair a bit, lose a bit of weight but these aren’t my reinvention, not in my opinion, i’m trying to reinvent myself back into the real me, looks don’t count, what does count is the mental side of things, i’m slowly becoming more outgoing which is essential to reinvention.
I guess the hard works about to start.
Lets start with smiling more until your face hurts! :)
