The Not So New, New Year Post

Happy New Year!

See.. this was suppose to be my New Years post, but lets face it, I'm a hot mess. And I’m okay with that, because this year is about embracing my flaws, learning my mistakes, manifesting my dreams, and accepting things out of my control. That’s a lot for one year right?

While some people were in action working towards accomplishing those New Years resolutions, I was still trying to finish up on resolutions I had started 3 plus years ago. As much as felt I should be disappointed, as I questioned what the hell I’d been doing with myself over the past 3 years, what good would that do? I was overwhelmed by the amount of bullet points I’d accumulated on my millionth “To-Do” List. Still yet, it wasn’t until recently, I realized my biggest most important life goals were all connected to this one thing... and that was, an undying need to love. To let go, and love, in every aspect of my life;  my son, my friends, my family, my body and last but most definitely not least my career. A concept that seemed so simple but was simultaneously riddled with emotions, wants, needs, and uncertainty. I always believed this same love would lead me to the freedom and happiness I dreamed about as a little girl or would see in the movies. So this leads me to my first burning question of the new year...

Was I asking for too much? In 2019, a day and age when true love seemed rare and many settled for complacency or “just getting by” instead following their dreams; was I not being realistic? ....I think the answer may vary based on who you ask, and maybe your truth to this question would only be revealed decades from now when you look back on life and wonder where the years went. Our time here on earth is too short to “settle.” 

This year on the blog you can expect us to work on pushing ourselves, while we hopefully encourage you to do the same. I personally hope to share with you guys more of my journey in making my streetwear company IMperfect Apparel, a successful brand, along with what’s hot for women within the streetwear industry! I’m pushing my doubt aside and just following my passion to create, produce, and host my own video blog interviewing people from all walks of life. 

This year, challenge yourself, pressure yourself, and if you have to, force yourself! I think the problem is that too often we question our desires. We wonder if we’re good enough, how we can make it possible, do we have enough time, do we have enough money, do we have enough support? But what if.... what if we took a chance and never looked back? I have the undying need to love in every aspect of my life, and sure maybe that wasn’t practical but... it's always going to seem impossible until its done.
