Hey, blogger world! It's me again. I'm no longer Mocha as I was in my junior high days. It's just Amoni...Yeah, I like that. It kinda has a ring to it. If you stay long enough you'll find that I'm a rather random yet sweet young lady. I consider myself to be one of the nicest people you'll ever come across. I love everything about writing, music, jewelry, natural hair, books, and Law & Order: SVU. In terms of my style and taste, I'm pretty ol' school. Yet, I'm a forward thinker who is always looking for more innovative alernatives. I'm a recent high school graduate. In about 19 days, I'll be attending the lovely Spelman College . Go Jaguars! I'm an English/Creative Writing major. I have a bomb roommate/long-lost sister, and I'm sure you'll see her lovely face frequent the page once school starts. I'm too hype about my upcoming college life. Much has changed since our last encounter. I've experienced my first unsuccessful relationship with a douche bag boyfriend. Now, I find myself in a very happy relationship with the sweetest guy I have yet to meet. I'm learning of different ways to take care of myself, both spiritually and physically. This means not only watching what I put in/on my body, but realizing my happiness. Yes, I'm in a wonderful relationship, but this is not the focal point of my happiness. I'm happy knowing that I'm waking up as a woman of many blessings and opportunities. I'm happy knowing I am loved and carry love within me. I'm happy knowing that I'm me. I'm happy knowing that I have goals for myself that involve positively impacting the world, in hopes that it'll do the same for me.
Anyways, I wanted to start a blog that was geared towards more personal aspects. (Sidenote: The title of my blog is french for "Always Dream.") My personal blog on tumblr turned out to be more focused on my writing projects. So, I decided to create a space for me to just babble and rant about things that have nothing to do with poetry or short stories. Starting with my decision to get yarn braids! I've been thinking about them long enough. It's time for me to just do it like Nike. Ayyyyeeee! ( Okay, I need to stop that. ) So, I've been talking with a really good friend of mine about protective styles for my hair. I had really been thinking about getting a nice wig,which I still want to try out. But for some reason I feel the urgency to just try the yarn braids first. Then, I'll experiment with wig looks as protective styles. I'll be 3 years natural in November. I don't have a picture on my laptop of how I looked after my big chop in 08.'
This is the the current length of my afro with a twist-out, no blow-out
Not bad. I just always strive for more. Right now, I feel my hair could be greater in length and more vibrant. I'm still in the process of researching maintenance and styles. I really like the dramatic effect of waist length yarn braids, but I feel those that are just a little past shoulder length will be easier to style.
I'm really excited about my upcoming new look. I feel it's going to give me that college edge/rebellious look I want. (hehehe!) I'm giving myself six days to complete my scholarship essay. Then, I'm starting them around next weekend. I'm pretty sure those will take me a few days. Then again, my summer life is not so eventful, so I'm sure it won't be that long.
It's 8 AM, and I need to work more on that essay I previously mentioned. Plus, the lovie is coming over for a dinner date, and I need to make my abode look presentable. I'll chat with you guys later! Au revoir! :)
