Self Known

I've never liked change. I'm the type of person who likes schedules - repetitive routines. I like doing the same thing over and over because it's comfortable. It's easy. People can do the same thing for years and not realize they're doing it because they're so used to it. And when they look back, they realize they were uncomfortable or bored, and wonder why they never changed anything. They wonder why they wasted their years. And as deep as that sounds, that's not what this post is about today. Today we're going to talk about breaking free from monotony. Getting out of our comfort zones, experimenting with our self-expression. Why? Because I got my hair cut the other day and I wanted to share it in a meaningful way. >.< TADA! Doesn't my hair look just darling? :) I've been dying to chop my hair off for quite some time now. I've had it long for a while, and only because I needed to put it up in a ...

Before: After: Hehe, I feel like such a model when I'm blinded by my camera's flash. So as you can tell by the photos, I got my hair cut! And I absolutely love it (I was scared I wouldn't...). I was planning on going shorter - like between chin and shoulder length - but I had so much hair that it took my mom over an hour to cut it like it's shown above (there was hair EVERYWHERE - I got a good four inches cut off). I really really love it and the whole time I was waiting I couldn't help but get excited to show you guys. :) This (sort of) brings me to the subject of change. Change is coming to Truly. Madly. Deeply. Positive, fulfilling change. I wish I could tell you more but you'll just have to wait. (Sowwy.) Thank you so much for reading! Have a Merry Christmas (eve). :) xx Nicole Rose

via pinterest People scare me. Social situations give me anxiety. Success frightens me. The thought of having everlasting happiness makes me shiver with doubt. I am afraid of these things. Why? Because they are good. Because they will make things easier. But--if I allow them to, they'll change things. Everything. They'll change me, and my life. They'll change how I think. For the longest time, change scared me. I thought I needed to stay the same. I thought I needed to stay afraid . But I can tell you now, as I continue on with my self-discovering journey, that there's nothing to be afraid of. Yes, change is change. Change is new. Change brings experiences. But change is healthy. Change is good . Spill your fears to me. Tell me, what frightens you?

{ picture via pinterest } I remember you. The pure you. Not that fake thing I see now. I remember your words. The pure words. Not that lies you say now. I remember your thoughts. The pure thoughts. Not the ones you've changed to fit their liking. I remember your transformation The impurities I witnessed. You're not the real you anymore. What happened? you changed || but my memories didn't thanks for reading. <3 xoxo, Rose
