Combing through my files, I came across these photos taken of me at the top of this year. You know they are quite old because my platinum blonde hair is now a memory. Side note. I never thought I could pull off this hair color, but I'm glad I curbed my fears and just did it! Why I'm posting these photos now is a lotta bit of procrastination and a little bit of insanity. Studying them closely, I thought to myself ~ Self, seriously why did you hold back?

At times, I'm guilty of overthinking myself to the point of no return. Insert ridiculous thoughts here. Could I have done some leg lunges and squats to fill out the dress? Perhaps. Also, I don't really like how my hair looks here ~ which is probably why these were chilling in my archives. I remember this day being SUPER cold! Although I was pretty covered up, my body was flat out freezing and your girl was determined to capture style for the sake of the blog.

If not careful, overthinking can potentially destroy your process. I can admit that my process this year was not destroyed, but definitely tested. I am grateful. Grateful to be a young woman whose experienced the lows of lows while being processed by the most high. Nurturing areas of my life that needed attention and embracing imperfection along the way. Getting to know me as I am now and learning from the person I used to be has been a blessing. Imperfection is a part of the journey. I thank God for this revelation and wisdom to know that what you've once criticized may be admired later.
