One Year Mark

It's May! I finally made one year. Woohoo!! Go me! Lol. I'm excited as you can see. My hair is about 4inches or so. It's thick, strong, and finally healthy. My signature look is wearing it in a high puff with twist out hair. I really enjoy playing in my hair. I must say I didn't play in my hair as much when it was relaxed, mainly because it was stringy and just blah.

I'm not saying that I'm not grateful but I'm really looking forward to more length, so that I can do the styles I really want to do. But I do see the necessity in being content with each stage, because you can then appreciate how far you've come. This time last year I was pretty much bald, and now I can wear it up in a puff. Progress! It was also very liberating to walk around with little to no hair. It forced me to embrace myself and to acknowledge that, "I am not my hair". There is more to me, and I explored that. This journey has definitely taken my confidence level up a notch. I've come to realize that this is not only a hair journey but a spiritual one as well.
