So I did something this past weekend and I felt it would be a great opportunity to bring up the subject of change, whether good or bad in oneself.
So this past weekend I felt it was necessary to change something about myself…. sooooo I went straight for the hair… my dark intense red (although processed) hair. First I tried to put bleach streaks in and failed because the streaks turned out a bronze color… even though we bleached twice in one sitting. My hair sucks, I know. Then we put in this vampire red manic panic dye which made the streaks a neon red color…. its pretty much rad.

So getting to the point of this whole discussion and past the details of my weekend:

Do you ever get to the points in your life where you just feel almost bored with yourself? You feel like you have to change something whether it’s on the inside or outside? Do you feel that changing something about yourself makes you almost insecure with yourself?

I feel I battle with wondering if I’m an insecure person when I feel it is necessary to change something about myself… but change isn’t always horrible. I feel change within ourselves can either be good or bad, but who’s to judge besides yourself? I also believe change on the outside is good as long as you are doing it for yourself and no one else. If you are able to do that, I feel there is an equal balance of security and will.

I enjoy changing things about myself. I believe my changes I make on the inside and outside represent the person I am at the moment. I feel we grow and progress in life every moment and change is therefore inevitable… although I do believe that we should first look at our changes especially if they are major and ask who we are ultimately doing them for… ourselves or others.

Sorry this was such a short blog, but I felt like this was an interesting subject to bring up and something many teen girls and people in general do through out their lives… and I feel especial teen girls try to change and find ultimate balance and happiness within themselves by doing this.

How do you feel about change? In yourself… in others? Changes on the inside and outside? I’d love to hear all of your thoughts.

First of all how did your hair not fall off when you bleached it twice! You must have indestructible hair lol

Change is sooo very important in life, I think mental/emotional/ life changes, more so than physical. But outside changes can reflect what going on inside. We should always be changing and evolving other wise, you’re kinda just sitting stagnant, watching the world go by. With each new thing we experience, or learn we are changing ourselves. Hopefully the changes are something we do for ourselves, for our own personal growth, not because of anyone else.

That being said,I have a hard time with change, I’m the kinda of person that sometimes gets into a rut, and doesn’t like to branch out, I like my comfort zone, and it’s hard for me to budge. It’s something I’m trying to change. I remember once that someone compared that to being a barnacle; you kinda fix yourself onto something and you build up this layer that holds you in place. But barnacles obviously aren’t going anywhere, their stuck, their not living for themselves.

I think a got a little too carried away :) But anyways change is good, change is healthy, change is necessary! Great topic :)

I think that changing yourself is okay as long as youre doing it for yourself, in a positive way :) I love the idea of playing with colors of your hair. great self expression! The thing I change the most for myself is the style of my room and my pieces of writing :) It’s what shows me at a current moment :D What about everybody else? :D

Change is a crazy thing. Some changes you feel you can never get over, like when someone close to you passes away, but then you end up learning something about yourself or someone else that you never even considered. An epiphany, if you will.

And then there’s the OTHER change. The change that YOU decide to make (like coloring your hair). It sounds like a great idea and you get excited about it, and the more you think about it the more excited you get, and then at the very last second there’s a voice in your head that says, “is this really a good idea?” And then that other voice that says “go for it!” And you do it. And it’s exhilarating. Even if it didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to, you know you had the courage to cross over that internal barrier, and it feels good :)
That’s what change feels like to me.

Change a lot has changed in my life good and bad the worst is dad dieing i remember mel gibson saying on the biography channel that he never got over the lose of his dad . Change comes in all forms and colors my favorite being red . I remember what a preacher said rejoice o young man in thy youth for all shall be brought into rememberance and judgement. Changes and Choices we all make them but do we really think about the consequences of those choices . I sometimes feel lost like a ship with no destination or port never a harbor to reach or home to go to and with every breathe of wind i drift further away from any recognizable shore. I think river of tears by eric clapton says what i feel . Love i remember how i felt when i saw rebecca but that is the past . i am 37 yrs old a man dad said all those things i didn’t want to hear when i was young now i see what he was saying was right and true . Listen while there is time to change before its too late
