AHHHHHHH!!!!! Seriously, I hate when I have these 3 month hiatus's and its like....Where in the world have you been Rikk??? Ok, well I have been ....doing the most, to say the least. Don't want to get into too many details but in the last 3 months I have ....changed TREMENDOUSLY.
To go in order, I spent my entire summer in my Hometown, Champaign IL....Relocated my LIFE to Alabama, and CUT MY HAIR. Yes...I did a big chop for numerous reasons. Most of my hair was damaged due to stress and just me not taking care of my hair. But this time around I shall take care of my tresses.
I have not really updated my Youtube channel in about 3 months either.....just because my hair....was becoming more important to me than more important things in my life. Such as, my faith and relationship with GOD, and my family. I was spending so much time on my hair and making sure it's "perfect" to please....others who I don't even know. Not to say that I, myself didn't want my hair to look good, but it just wasn't as important to me anymore. This time in my life has become critical for me to gain a better understanding in God, and less in what new product is out and what will make my twist out look great and all that jazz.
Not saying that I will never make videos again. I just needed a break. The art of humbling YOURSELF and not having to have someone else do it for you is so liberating. I seriously felt like I was setting a standard for some people and I do not believe that I was in the position to have that power. Social networks are SO powerful and people are so caught up into the blogs, vlogs, tweets, IG posts, etc. That they don't know that those people are individuals with real life problems too.
So after I cut my hair...The RED hair was GONE :( Yes I was sad...not about cut...but I did miss my color. So I dealt with the black hair for a few weeks. ...but I am a woman of color. So I did color my hair Honey Blonde. And I Love it.
Humbling yourself does NOT mean I still can't be fly. It's just not my first love. That's the lesson I learned.
Peace & Love
