part of me—>:$
there’s this part of me where i push myself to the limit. the side i can just be happy with who i am and how i feel with what i have. this side is just the one that tells how i shouldn’t care about what others think or say. not my hard side but a side that just sees a curve instead of a perfect line. i ask my self every day whether having this side really makes me happy. i ask myself because at the end of the day everyday, i don’t support myself. im not happy with what i do have. im not happy with the way i look. i cry myself to sleep because i think to myself about the things that i could actually manage to get accomplished. but it makes me feel worst because in reality i can’t do anything. i don’t play sports. i don’t do art. i read. i write. i talk. i see the people around me and they all have these special qualities but i have yet to find out what it is that i can really do. my spark. my magic. i feel alone in the world and the only company that i really do have are my obstacles that during the day keep me going with my head up and at the end of the day, only begin a new hole all over my body. its not self esteem issues. its not depression. i actually have no idea of what exactly i have for myself. like i ask myself why im here. what do i actually have to place down on the table? im confused. im hurt. and it sucks. but i can’t wake up without a smile on my face. a smile that continues to hide everything it is that i actually hold beneath my smile.

My friend Tyler, who is an amazing hairstylist and awesome mom, helped me figure out how to Create This hairstyle! Tyler is going to start posting to Create This Look For Less with DIY hairstyles and more! Stay tuned! :o)
- Start with a side part, making sure all the hair is free of knots. It’s an inside-out french braid, so instead of crossing over each of the three strands, cross under. Great tutorial here (also, the music in this video is pretty awesome!!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxLlEUGVir0
- French braid along the hairline, going from forehead to ear. Once at the ear, begin cutting over, braiding towards your other ear, as opposed to keeping with the hairline. In order to achieve the look perfectly, tilting the head sideways or completely down at times will help.
- Once you hit the other ear, add whatever hair you have left over, and start forming a side ponytail. Twist the hair upwards, as if you are about to create a french twist, and bobby pin it in, for strength. Then bring the hair down, as if you are going to create a twisted, tight bun. Confused? Who isn’t at this point?! Try it, work with it, it will make sense once you start moving your hands through the hair, and don’t try to make it perfect- it’s messy for a reason!!!
- Finish by securing the side do with bobby pins, pulling bits of hair out of the bun to achieve maximum mess, and voila!! Feel free to loosen things up a bit by pulling on the braid, the bun, and any other hair that looks too tight.
Braided and pinned.
