Have you ever been at a place in your life where nothing felt right. I mean, physically you’re ok (besides the normal anxiety all of us millennial’s have) but mentally and emotionally nothing feels right. That’s exactly how I’ve been feeling for the past year. I’ve been depressed. I’ve been fucking depressed and it took me a year to realize this!

This past Monday I scheduled an appointment with a new therapist in hopes of finding some type of clarity of my current state of mind. I learned enough in our 45 minute session. Enough to understand that one, my parental issues are way deeper than what I would like to believe them to be. And two, I’ve gotten way to comfortable with the lifestyle I currently hold which is foolish to even believe because I’m not even balling! But she said something that really resonated with me. She said “It seems like you’re the type of person who knows how to connect with how you feel and communicate what you’re feeling. Maybe its time to temporarily mute your emotions to understand exactly what you’re initially thinking that’s making you feel the way you do.” So in a nutshell basically I should slow down on feeling and stop to think about my thoughts. What thoughts have been consuming my brain? Which ones are changing my mood and how can I challenge them with a proper solution. I hope you’re following me! I promise you, as I was walking out to my car I literally was thinking about it all. Scatter brain. All of my thoughts, placing them in different categories. Then I found it. I found the bugs.

and here we are….

I VOW to myself to step out on faith. To enjoy life for what it is and to not let anything nor anyone feel like they have the ultimate power over me. Every single dream I have will remain a priority to accomplish. In November I will be relocating to the west coast, LA specifically to follow my career goals as an on set hair stylist. This has been a dream of mine for quite some time now and I’ve put it off for multiple reasons in the past. Today, I decided that I am going to make this move an entire blogging experience. I feel like through all of the trials and tribulations I’ve experienced here in my hometown, I’m finally over it and I’m ready to go. I am mapping out a road trip from Maryland to California. So far the only details I can share is that I will be making 3 stops before arriving to LA. The first stop will be Cincinnati, OH then Denver, CO and last but definitely not least Las Vegas, NV. So if you’re in any of those surrounding areas and would like to connect by all means, shoot me and email! I still plan to take hair appointments on my journey as well as continue to accept branding coach calls and staff writing so please help me gain new clients by sharing my work from Instagram, sharing this blog post or just sharing my story with someone you may know. Also, if you have any LA homies and feel we may vibe well together on any type of level, hook us up so we can make some money magic! I’m coming to grind period.

So, the next post to follow all summer 18 will primarily be my DC experiences. All about my city, things we do, local artist highlights, some of the greatest places to dine (because I live for food), awesome places to stay when visiting, and just the lifestyle we share here. I love DC and I can’t wait to share this from my point of view before I wander off…
