In 2021, I had every intention of starting a blog. It was going to be about life on commercial sets (while honoring an NDA) as a hairdresser in a scene I was new to.. That work is pretty non-existent these days for me. It was fun while it lasted though. While I’m open to working on set, there are many constraints & limitations with brand work. Corporate work is corporate work. Need I say more? My next entry will be about my personal editorial project of 2024. I find creative projects with friends so fulfilling.
I’m not sure if a blog will hurt my business, people’s personal views on me, or whatever. Then again I don’t give a fuck. Being myself/speaking my mind has really been the key to a thriving business & personal growth. I’m going to keep on rolling with that. It’s working. Don’t expect anything too intense on here, I got kids! Don’t expect proper grammar or punctuation either.. Ya girl has a high school education, a cosmetology license (with 15 years of experience bitch), and a degree in hard knocks. All amounting to priceless experiences that got me right here. Zero regrets, well maybe a couple hehe.
Do expect a film photo, or two, maybe several every entry. I enjoy taking film photos and really need to bring a camera every where I go. In the last ten years I’ve experienced so much loss. Photos are all I have aside from videos on my phone. I’ve never regretted taking “too many photos” or documenting special moments. Especially of family & friends. At the end of it all.. It is really all we have left of them. So take the damn photos. Please :)
I called this entry “Growing Pains”, because good or bad growth can hurt. Right now I am in a really sweet, peaceful moment in my life. My business has grown and deserves to be celebrated. I am a mother of a high school senior, now legal adult who is on his way to the next chapter of his life. *pause* (My eyes literally filled up with tears writing that!) And I have a younger child who is growing beautifully and still needs her mommy. *pause again for the ugly cry* I have a wonderful partner who loves me, acts like it, and more. After a couple of years, we’re entering a new chapter in our relationship.. It is really beautiful. I’m so thankful for it all, truly.
Growth can be tough on my tender Cancer heart. I’ve always put my family & friends first. They cross my mind in everything I do. At this time in my life, I want to do what I think is best for my wellbeing. Ultimately will cause a ripple effect to those around me and I think it’ll be a good thing. Since my grandmother’s passing I have been trying to figure out who I am, what I want in life, and I figured it out.. I just want peace.
I’ll talk more about my grandma soon. Thanks for reading. Take care.
