Hairstyle-Locs

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!

Portrait-Badu

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...

"Attitude"-portrait

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...

Question for thoughts

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...

Just thoughts

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...
