Now playing The Weeknd- Too late

There's a saying that goes "a woman's hair is her crown."

My hair journey has been such an exciting one so far. I've had it natural, permed, low,teeny weeny, dyed...I can go on.

I cut my hair and started my natural hair journey in 2014. I grew it to a really cool length and volume. My hardwork didn't go unnoticed- people loved my hair, they'd always praise it and stare when I put it in  different hairstyles. It wasn't all great because a lot of other people would always assume I was a Jehovah's witness. They'd assue I was "humble" and "good" simply because of my hair. It was always funny to me but I understood from a very early age how Nigerian's judge or conclude on a person's character simply because of their hair! Extremely weird flex but okay. Other than that I absolutely loved my hair. I didn't care that my mum didn't like it and would always suggest I relax it any chance she got.  I was doing with my hair what I wanted and I loved it. 

 

After telling myself at the beginning of the lockdown that I would use the opportunity to create and blog consistently or atleast get back into the funk of writing and posting on my blog, that all went to the bin after 2020 continuously kicked me in the sheen with all the plot twists and uncalled for drama. Like that wasn’t enough I’ve been going through a creative block trying to decide what I would do, topics I’d write on and honestly I think I’d just take it step by step and in no time I’d have written on all the topics I want to write on. Didn’t know what to write about so I’m going for the good old “CURRENTLY IAM” because what better time than at the beginning of a new month/ first month of the second half of the tear. So without further ado, CURRENTLY I AM...

WEARING : Free fitting clothes and very little to no underwear. I don’t go out and when I do it usually to run to the store for groceries and then I’m back. I honestly don’t know where my bras are.

ADMIRING : All the content creators out there who are still able to create consistently even with all the negativity around while still using their platforms to educate people about the BLM movements and the #EndRapeCulture. 

WISHING : I had a steady paying job that didn’t require me doing the 9-5 a week. 

DERTERMINED TO : Post on my blog consistently and actually try to grow my Ig account and make more friends on twitter. Im a really shy person and this has made it difficult for me to share things I've created.  If you’re on twitter...hmu its @Annie3_0 now.

CRAVING : Pizza. Haven’t had one in a while.

EXCITED TO : I loaned a tripod from a friend so I’m currently excited to take better pictures for IG. Also I am looking forward to my birthday this year. Fingers crossed it’s better than last years.

ANTICIPATING : Not sure I’m anticipating anything rn, if I’m being honest. Maybe my birthday, creating some looks.

HAPPY ABOUT :Spending the lockdown in my apartment away from my family drama.

IRRITATED BY :People who won’t respect your boundaries and always feel entitled to your space.

INSPIRED BY : Young people speaking against oppression and being active in synthesizing their environment and teaching people about rape culture, racism, colorism, all other “isms” it’s difficult changing peoples train of thought especially if you speak against something they view as a “norm”

PLANNING TO : Get a job or create one are my long term plans but right now I’m just planning out video ideas and pictures of outfits to take for my blog. 

LOVING : doing makeup looks even though I hardly share cus I'm shy to a fault and scared that people won’t really appreciate them as much.

AIMING AT : Growing my Instagram account to 2k followers and also being able to engage with people on twitter and Instagram. 

READING : Blogs. I'm going to write about my favorite blogs that I’m loving right now.

LISTENING TO : Pop Smoke's latest album. Shoot for the Stars. 

Andddd that’s a wrap. Expect a new blog post sooner than you think.
