Crochet Braids - Marley Hair Twistout

When I took out my Marley/Senegalese twists back in June, I looked at the hair and decided that I would keep it and recycle it to use for crochet braids. I got this idea from VeePeeJay after coming across this photo a while back:

Cute right?

So I figured re-using my hair made sense. It would be a quick install and cute style. And I was right. It took me less than 3 hours from start to finish. It took me a few days to get used to it, but it has definitely grown on me.

It's definitely a different look for me, but I like it! :)

Destination

10.10.14

When you know you have a purpose in life, 

but you constantly ignore it.

When you feel completely unfulfilled and empty.

Like you're floating around, purposeless.

When you wake up every morning wondering,

when will I get the chance to LIVE?

When you arrive at work and realize that you don't belong,

you will NEVER belong, but you must stay for a paycheck.

When you go to bed every night feeling lonely, sad and unused

You're empty. Nothing pouring into you, nothing coming out of you.

So why are you here?

You know why. You have to know right?

That’s what everyone tells you.

You're a writer. You're creative.

You know that this is true.

So what do you do about it?

Stay miserable and unfed?

When you know you can do something greater, much greater than this.

When you know that you can be fed, poured into, filled up…if you leave.

The only thing is, to where?

Time to find a destination.
