Day 6 – A photo of an animal you’d love to keep as a pet.

Perhaps, subconsciously I was fearful of starting a blog is because most bloggers are obsessed with animals. Pets are a common interest that people relate to and bond over. I was never one of those people. Animals kind of freak me out, honestly. Yea, they are cute and loving and blah, blah, blah, but I’ve never had much of an interest. Growing up my mother never allowed any kind of pet (not even a fish) because it would cost money so I really just dropped the idea. Maybe I’ll get my kids a puppy… when I have them…a long time from now.

This one'll do...lol

Day 5 – A photo of yourself two years ago.

Two years ago today.... I had just graduated high school and cut off all of my hair. I believe that on July 5th 2009 I was getting ready for my freshman orientation and I was mad excited! At the same time, I was afraid because there was no way for me to know how my hair was received. I don't think people treated me any differently. The black kids I saw were so happy to see someone like them, they didn't even notice my hair and sometimes they even complemented it. White people either complement or dont comment at all. No stares... I made friends quickly at school and even though I was nervous and awkward, my hair didn’t necessarily add to or cause that. 

Day 4 – Your favorite photograph of your best friend

I have more than one best friend because I’m lucky like that….But If I had to pick one to feature right now…

I would pick Tyshanda, we have know each other since 4^th grade which is over half our lives! She is one of the most valuable people to me in my life because she understands me better than anyone. A phone call with her is more beneficial than a year of therapy, I swear. I hope everyone has someone like her in their life.

this is how we felt right before graduation :)

Day 3 – Your idea of the perfect first date.

I never really thought of what my idea of a perfect first date would be. I think it really depends on the couple and how well they know each other. If it is a situation where two established friends are becoming more than friends, I think it would be ideal to do something together that they haven’t done together before. I would sat not to go to the same restaurant you’ve been to a million times together or go out in your friend group. In that case you need to create romantic memories instead of buddy-buddy ones.

If I didn't know a guy I would want to go to some sort of show/movie/play with dinner/dessert afterwards. That way there’s no pressure to talk and afterwards you have a built in conversation piece. I tend to be shy so I guess that’s what I would want on a first date. 

Day 2 – A photo of something you ate today.

Day 2 was yesterday....I need to get better at this :(

I ate some Burger King nuggets. They tasted ok, and I'm glad they aren't shaped like crowns anymore...those crowns were stupid. However I feel some kind of way about eating them now because I'm reading the book 'Skinny Bitch' by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin and its really getting to me. If you thought Fast Food Nation was bad, that was nothing compared to this! I'm seriously contemplating my life right now. 

Day 1 – A photo of yourself and a description of how your day was.

this is an old photo b/c im starting the challenge one day late :)

I regret starting this challenge off on a bad note but yesterday was a hard day for me. I had a fight with my boyfriend. What made it worse is that I’m visiting my boyfriend and his family right now so I’m living at their house. The fight was because I did something he didn't like so he was mad at me, but I was trapped in his vicinity while he was freezing me out.  I’m the type of person who wants to be far away from people who aren’t happy with me because it makes me anxious and I just want to escape all the negative feelings, however as you may have guessed, I had nowhere to go.

After hours of uncertainty and my brain spinning horrible scenarios of how I would have to walk back to Virginia, I confronted him about it. By the end of I night I couldn’t breathe because I had cried so much but we successfully talked it out. Relationships are hard but worth it.
