Hairstyle-Locs
Saturday, January 21, 2012
It's been a while since I've posted updates of my locs. I wanted to treat myself today since it's my 2.5 years loc-versary and decided to get them professionally done and I came out looking like a million bucks!

I feel like doing charcoal paintings forever now. I find it funny how I was in a rut for a while to the point where I thought I lost my passion. In fact I felt like I was going insane and lost my identity. Guess I was just bored with acrylics...I really feel so much better about myself now. It's an amazing feeling...

I started getting bored with acrylic paint so I decided to rekindle my relationship with my first love, charcoal. I haven't used charcoals in 3 years and I missed its versatility. I have a lot more to learn with charcoal thus I will be exploring with the messy black powder for awhile...
Black Natural Barbies
More dolls

Love it!
I wish I was able to play with black natural hair dolls growing up
I think I may start collecting black dolls...

Question for thoughts
Sunday, October 16, 2011
Why is it that most people believe saying "I Love You" first is a competition of who has the power in the relationship?
Let this thought marinate for a second.
Growing up the majority of women are told never to say "I love you" first to a man or else that means he controls the relationship and wins. Wins what?
If you love, you love so what if YOU say it first. Let go of the Fear and Be vulnerable.
I believe the person who doesn't care about sayings "I Love You" first clearly wins...

Some people think I'm a poet to the point where I've been asked several times if I wanted to participate in an open mic.
Who me???
"I draw and paint; I don't write poetry"
No Tarra. You're a poet too....
I ask myself, what is it that makes people think so.
Or maybe the question is why do I think there's a difference between an artist and a poet?
Isn't it the same thing?
Besides, we're all creative beings trying to figure out our human/spiritual journey in our own psychedelic ways.
At the end of the day we're all visionaries.
To be honest. I don't even know where I'm going with this blog post right now. I just wanted to say something. anything. Not everything needs to make sense I guess...
I'm starting to feel like I'm abandoning my blogs. Hence my reason for writing random of the random-est.
Well not only my blogs but all my social media sites.
I rarely use them nowadays.
Maybe abandon isn't the proper word.
It could be that I'm taking a moment to unplug.
Maybe it's true what they say. To stay connected, sometimes you have to disconnect...
Sometimes you need to unplug in order to find your outlet...

A Letter to my readers
Wednesday, September 28, 2011
Dear Readers,
I'm beginning to feel like I'm a bad blogger. I noticed that I'm losing followers and this doesn't surprise me at all. I haven't been updating and been MIA for a long time. From apartment hunting, moving, and other personal matters, I had some pretty hectic and stressful months. I'm at a point in my life where I'm feeling stagnant. I feel stuck and I don't know how to pull myself out of this runt. I'm guessing I'm experiencing an existential crisis but I'm not feeling like my Self at all. It's to the point where I'm finding comfort in sweet foods and of course gaining mucho weight. Funny because I never had a sweet tooth so I know my body is giving me signals that something ain't right. I also found out that I'm severely anemic and been doing a lot of blood work lately to figure out the cause. I've been extremely tired and sluggish. I've lost motivation to paint, write, draw, and sometimes even to read. These past few months I've been living my life as if I'm a robot. A lot has to do with not liking my environment, friends moving to different States, other's getting married and starting a family, not liking my 9-5 jobs, and not knowing how to launch a career with my passion. I feel really lost right now and I apologize for the silence on this blog. I'm pretty sure I'm going through a phase, however I need to take some time to myself and sort out my emotions and thoughts. I don't know how long this condition will last, but I'm sure it's a process that I have to go through in order to grow. Once again, I'm sorry for not updating or sharing but I will be back when I'm ready.
Hope you understand.
Sincerely,
A girl going through some changes
Searching for my balance
