#findingmystyle

Hey Tumblr friends! 👋 I’m super excited to say this is my very first post! After finally creating my Tumblr, I’m still figuring out what kind of content I want to share. There are so many cool options, and honestly, I’m a bit torn. Should this space be for personal thoughts, creative work, or just a mix of everything I love? 🤔

What Should I Post? Exploring Ideas

There’s a ton of inspiration around Tumblr, which makes it exciting but also tricky to decide on a direction. Here are some of the options I’m considering:

1. Personal Blog

I could use this space like a journal, sharing daily life experiences, thoughts, or even mini life updates. It would be a more casual, authentic vibe, letting me connect with others who might relate to what I’m going through. Plus, it could be a great way to document life and look back on my personal growth.

2. Creative Writing and Poetry

I’ve always had a passion for words. Whether it’s short stories or poetry, Tumblr seems like the perfect space to share that creative side. I could post snippets of my writing or even work on a longer project in chapters. There are so many amazing writers on Tumblr that I’ve come across, and it would be fun to join in on that creative community.

3. Book Reviews and Recommendations

As an avid reader, I’m always discovering new books and authors, so why not use Tumblr to share my thoughts on what I’m reading? Whether it’s detailed reviews, quick recommendations, or even bookish discussions, it could be a great way to connect with fellow readers. Plus, I could keep track of my reading journey and maybe even inspire others to pick up a new book.

4. Reblogging and Curation

Let’s be real: Tumblr is a goldmine for cool content. I could simply focus on reblogging things I love, like funny memes, aesthetic photos, inspiring quotes, or interesting posts from others. Curation is its own form of expression, and it might be a fun way to explore and share my favourite rite things without overthinking it.

Finding My Style

One thing I’m quickly learning about Tumblr is that it doesn’t have to be just one thing. I can combine different types of content — writing, reblogging, books, and more. My Tumblr can be a mix of everything I enjoy, which feels true to who I am. Right now, I’m open to experimenting and seeing what resonates with me (and with all of you!).

What’s Next?

In my own personal opinion, I truly believe that people can have multiple aesthetic and can dress how they want depending on their mood. And I don’t think anyone disagrees with that statement as well. When I talk to one of my best friends about my style and how within the past year it has evolved to less basic girl trendy (which still looks great and is a reason its trendy) but more to something else I don’t have a proper adjective to describe it. So what I am going to do is find pictures through Instagram or Twitter (which I have linked to this account, please check it out) and describe why I like them and see how my style evolves over the months. Maybe describing outfits I like and putting it into words will help me find my own personal style and finally an adjective to say what my personal style is. 

So let us start: 

4/1/20 Day 1 

Women feel and need the ownership of loving themselves and the hair that God gave them regardless of how it looks or the steps needed to get there. So they take on that returning to nature and start to embrace what texture they have and what was given to them. With that we begin to learn to care for our natural hair properly and do what’s is healthy and makes us happy!

I remember when I started my hair journey around 8 years ago while suffering from thyroids; which keep making my hair falling out and do to scalp sensitivity from perming, I knew it was necessary for my well-being to make a change. I wasn’t sure how my fiancée would take the change, but nevertheless, I’m going to go natural! I decided to start my natural hair journey.”

I felt it might have been easier to let the perm grow out, for his comfort and cut away little by little, but what a mess. So one day while home alone, I decided to do the big chop! I instantly fell in love with my refound hair! It brought me back to remembering getting those heat presses that my grandmother did every Saturday night and the burnt ears from me moving so much. How was I going to handle this hair, how would I look? All of these things impacted my thoughts, but nevertheless, I knew what I need to do! Cut it off! I did a lot of research looked up styles and decided I will let my hair take on the direction it wanted to go!!

I still didn’t believe the sense of his disconcertment and lack of understanding that was happening over me caring and taking self preservation over my hair, body and life! I began to feel free and I didn’t care about how he felt about my hair, often times he would walk by and just keep feeling it, and I see him shaking his head! I struggle on alone and wore my TWA without reservation.

As I was learning my hair and starting out, He often said It looks terrible and what am I going to do with it! He said I was bald and looked like a man! I wore did the (TWA) teeny weeny Afro, the twists and wore a headband! My friends also, often said those natural hair styles aren’t very attractive. Do you really plan to walk around town with an afro all the time? I no longer cared what anyone thought of what I needed for myself!

I’ve been relaxing my hair for 37 years, putting up with these painful headsores and pain in my head after perming. After my hair started falling out from my medical condition, I knew I had to do something different. To think-of his insensitive and his feelings that I was unattractive became bothersome simply because of the way I decide to wear my hair. It was very upsetting so I asked what makes it so ugly, in your eyes and why does my hair make you see me differently now? “No answer”

Men are not aware of what it takes to maintain the stresses and pressures of what you see as good hair, they don’t even understand hair maintenance and what permed or natural hair requires! It all is alot of work, but being natural is a true sense of being true in every form of the word! Getting back to being yourself is key to understanding, balancing your thoughts and actions and leveling up your engergy field!
