Been a while since my last post, but i'm back!
So yeah, basically i'm seeking a new lease on life in regards to the image I wish to portray to the people of the world.
Right, after a long time of consideration - because you need preparation - I have decided I want to grow an afro.
The afro to me, has many connotations. It links the image of black strength to the image of black political theory. It ca be looked upon unfavourably by society, but for ME I want it to mean more than that.
This afro to me will be a symbol of my patience, my temperance and also the pride in myself of which I tend to keep hidden from others as a fear of what they would think.
I shouldn't have to oppress my expression for the sake of somebody else's opinion and in true fact I give total credit to my close friends at university for this new ideal. They have awoken in me a dormant passion for my own mind, for thinking, for change and it's this passion that I will use as my strength and determination throughout this transition.
It's also a spiritual manifestation. I endeavour to find my spirit and my true calling along this path I have chosen and I truly believe that God is leading me and speaking to me with every step I take, every word that I profess from my mouth and my actions.
I call this Phase 1. because this is the beginning of an all round change of myself. It starts from within and it will seep out all over your personality thus creating the person you want to be.
