As social media has proven, it’s fake. FAKE AF! So when I tell y’all, I look like an Instagram baddie about 20% of the time. That other 80% is straight bummy. Even though the baddie typically only pops out for a night out, events, or photo-shoots...I felt like being cute today. So, I did my hair.
Now you’re probably thinking to yourself, okay big deal?! But it was...for me!
You see, for the past 4 days...depression has been kicking my ass. A combination of bad weather, inner thoughts, feeling overwhelmed and just simply not motivated. Now being that I work from home and have family responsibilities, I don’t go out much. Half of in which is by choice and the other half due to circumstances. Point is, I ain’t got no reason to waste products and look cute. Simple. For those of you who may not know of the symptoms of depression: loss of interest, lack of energy or tiredness just to name a few has definitely played a part this past week. I remember looking in the mirror Saturday thinking to myself, “you don’t even look like yourself.” I had taken a back by what was staring back at me. I didn’t like what I saw and so I made a decision to get back to me. To get back to the Danii I know and love. So, I did my hair and baaaaybbbbbyyyyy ...I LOOK GREATTTTTT! *in my Tony the Tiger voice* Doing my hair was such a small gesture and yet it gave me all the energy I needed to get back to me. Sometimes with depression, I look at how I will overcome this demon longterm. We don’t ever stop to think about the small things to get us going, but all we need to do is meet God half way. He has already won the battle for you, but he just needs you to keep fighting. He will give you all of the strength you need to move on. Faith without works is dead: meaning how can you hope for something, but have the audacity to not work towards it? Think about it.
