It took almost two years of mishaps to finally really get on the right track! I took these pictures to show the vast difference in my locs within a very few months of treating them with the respect they deserved. Something good came out of the haircolor fiasco. My locs started to thrive again, they got fuller, lusher...I couldn't believe the change.
I believe it had to do with the fact I released myself over to the journey. I stopped trying to force good things to happen, because all I was doing was drawing negative energy to my locs. I learned that I truly had to respect the journey for what it is. This is probably the hardest life lesson I have had to deal with so far, because I had to surrender EVERY little quirky thing about me and accept them. It was during this period I truly became content with myself. I'd had moments of peace of mind earlier in the journey, but nothing like the kind I've had the last 5 months.
Everything has finally fallen into place. The locs are growing, starting to really maintain their form, the stress is gone because I am not tripping on them anymore...they are what they are. I have no problems with maintaince, because I am latch-hooking them. I have no problems with products...I use the basics and thats all....I am finally back on the right track! |
