Why Worry?



Ok, so this is my first blog post EVER! Im nervous and excited at the same time. I kept worrying and stressing over, "will people like it? will i have things to say?" But with some advice from friends and family, I decided to just go for it and everything would flow as I start to write.




This whole process on starting this blog made me think...why worry? I mean why worry about anything at all? I think one thing that I struggle with the most is worrying about image. I mean living in a society where image is/seems to be everything, you get caught up. You constantly worry about what you look like. Its hard for me to just get out of bed and go. I feel like if I dont get dressed up to the point where I could walk the red carpet at the VMA's then people wont accept me. Which I guess in the end is their loss. Right? Sometimes I feel like its not how I look, but what I look like. I dont believe that I have a certain type of style, more just wear what I like and think looks good. But that can be a problem for me sometimes. Because then again...what I think looks good others might not. But celebrities deal with this kind of thing all the time! For instance Rihanna. One of the hottest artists out right now! We've all seen her outfits. Some of which look like you would wear them to a costume party. But the thing I like about it is, is that shes not wearing those clothes for other people. She's wearing them for herself...because SHE likes them!




Or Diggy Simmons. Dude's taking the fashion and entertainment industry by storm. His sense of style is amazing! He dresses far beyond his peers. Why? Yes. Because he likes it. He seems to not care about what people and the media say. I watched an interview he did and he said that he does everything he does for him.




I guess I need to work on not worrying about what people think of me in the aspect of what I wear. I should be more worried about what they think of me as a person. But I guess the point that Im trying to make here is Why Worry? Why worry about anything at all? In the words of the great Bob Marley, "don't worry, about a thing, every little thing, is gonna be alright!"






Peace & Love,
