I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

Can I just say that jogger trousers are the best thing right now? I can wear them to work and be absolutely comfortable. I can wear them out and about and feel like I'm wearing PJs. What's not to love, really?

You're not going to sit there and tell me that song "Happy" by Pharrell Williams did not get stuck in your head at least 3 times. You know, "clap along if you feel like a room without a roof". But let's be real, what does it take for a person to be happy?

First post with my natural hair texture & I can't believe I used to hate it!
It took me years to appreciate my curly/wavy hair. I remember wearing my hair in a ponytail ALL THE TIME growing up because I just didn't know how to make it straight. In my country, having curly hair wasn't popular at all. I wasn't part of the "cool kids club" because of my hair, amongst other things. Fast forward to moving to USA, I was exposed to diversity. My former "not-so-cool" hair is now very much accepted. It still took me awhile to get used to wearing my hair wavy because I didn't know the right products to tame them.
We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

When it's not too cold to wear an actual sweater or not too hot to just wear a t-shirt, you know, that transition period between winter and spring, that's when my chambray top comes in. It's the perfect fabric for that 52-degree weather because it's not as think as a regular denim and it's not as thin as a t-shirt. It's also a great way to add color (well, denim wash) to my usually boring black or grey outfits.

"Black is my favorite color. It make me feel like we know each other." It's a lyric from a song by Capital Cities called I Sold My Bed But Not My Stereo.
It's pretty much true. We wear all black because we know it will never fail. It's like when I see someone in the street wearing all black at the same time as me, we have some weird connection through the understanding that black rules the color wheel.
I've trained myself to illuminate the things in my personality that are likable and to hide and protect the things that are less likeable.

Remember those questionnaires we used to get in chain emails or MySpace? I used to get super excited answering those not because I'm excited about sharing my answers but rather it's an exercise of my knowledge of myself. It makes you sit there and think the "this or that" & "what if"s.
