6 months ago I made the decision to buy a motorcycle, it was something that I had wanted to acquire for a long time, to have the ease of getting around in a more comfortable and faster way, individually and also with my mother.
After going through the most difficult weeks and letting go of the fear a little, I started going out on short routes near my house, and one of those days, continuing in the practice, I went to look for a package of merchandise that had arrived and I had it. between my feet, I was really uncomfortable, and I took a different route back to my house than usual, to change and when I realized, it was already very late, in the road there was a huge gap and it was long, it covered the entire road Trying to avoid it, the motorcycle went sideways and I fell, a very hard fall, I scraped all of my arms, I hit my knee very hard, it hurt a lot, the motorcycle broke several plastic parts, several people helped me get up and lift the motorcycle, I realized that I couldn't walk well, the pain went away a little and then I grabbed my motorcycle and went home to cry, I was very sore and sad, I suffered the biggest blow to my left knee, I thought I would never be able to master it, I even thought about selling it, but after everything that had happened I was not going to give up. And it continues, until today that I am no longer afraid, I go to distant routes, I already dominate the motorcycle, it does not dominate me, and I am very happy to have continued trying and not to give up in the process, because now I always feel like a motorcycle mom, an independent, strong, brave woman who overcomes all the challenges that come her way, that's who I am.

So I wanted to look decent, and presentable to avoid being judged. People can pass wrong judgment on you for your look.
I bought the dye but you won't believe what happened, in the night when I applied the dye it turned out to be pink that they sold for me as brown.
Confusion, anger, and frustration set in, then tears welled up in my eyes.
I was devastated when my friend came up with the idea that we should look for the liquid black dye to buy, I didn't go with them cause I was too mad to move. If it was still daytime when the market was open, that lady would have felt my wrath that very day.
Well, I ended up with a black and pink hairstyle the next day the pink wasn't completely clear, and my hair was of two different colors.
When I got to the camp everybody was asking me, how I managed to merge two different colors on my hair. I was now feeling on top of the world. I was given them lecture on how to do it, but I never told any of them that it came as a result of being given the wrong dye oo. That is how I came to carry natural hair at last.
Am loving it right now.

Every undergraduate often thinks life after school is fun. Yeah, I fell victim too.
I graduated last year from uni and it has been a whole new life for me. After getting a degree I waited for a few months before going for my mandatory service year which involved me relocating to a different state for a year.
So, I started my service in January, I found myself living alone independently for the first time in a whole new environment with new faces, New cultures and lifestyles, and so on. It was quite challenging. I have been almost independent and taking responsibility and decisions on my own.
Though, this change was anticipated and I was a bit prepared but it felt like I was caught off guard. The reality was actually way different from what I'd anticipated. The first few months were quite depressing but I'm adjusting and still learning even after 6 months, I'm still adapting.
To cope with these changes, I'd develop different strategies for the respective problems I face.
I'm not really a routine person but creating a new routine and daily plans have boosted my productivity.It also helps with time management.
Ever since I started my service and new life, I've received less allowance from my parents and it has prompted me to be more efficient with my budgeting and spending.
Since my new place is more on the rural side it is really hard for me to get groceries, toiletries, and other things I need. So I'd buy things in bulk from a distanced supermarket. This saved me time, energy, and money.
Making a few friends has helped ease the boredom but discovering new hobbies like meditation, reading, talking walking, and so on has helped me relax and stay positive. I also find happiness in my favorite hobbies which are drawing and sewing, they have been my best buddies.

When it comes for cutting of hair, i see it as fun which i do often to myself. Not really that i don't have good hair or it doesn't look on me. But i feel more free when i cut my hair because it enables me wash my hair as often as i want. When i cut my hair, it turns out to look on me because i dont just leave it tattered rather i maintain it. So, whoever that sees my hair falls in love with it.
I find pleasure in doing it. This upcoming December, i planned to plart my hair. It simply means i will start making my hair again. But that's doesn't mean i won't cut it again. I will definitely do that when I'm tired of braiding. It has been part of me and i see it as fun cutting my hair because both sides is good on me. It's no longer fun but it has become part me to cut my hair for long periods of time before parting it again. So, i don't actually cut my hair because i want to save money but the fun is my joy because i spent a lot of money maintaining short or cut hair to compare with long perming hair.

The pandemic and the crisis of the country together with the diaspora were circumstances that marked us and generated substantial changes in our lives, for which we had to change habits and lifestyle. Some projects were frustrated, as in my case I had to fix my father's house with the money I received from the benefits and they became salt in the water because they were only used to eat. I left home and went to spend some time with a brother in a nearby city. I found a job and did well but I had to return. I came back with a different attitude and recovered from the depression that wanted to trap me.
Then came a strong family crisis that made me say: Enough! Again I had to change my attitude to survive. It was then that I met the neighbors, I learned to play a little bit of bolas criollas and even sang in a parrandón at Christmas. From that moment on, everything began to evolve in a positive way and the light began to come into my life. It is important to keep a positive attitude so as not to let negativity crush us.
I tell you that I cut my own hair and not for fun. With the country crisis came budget cuts which resulted in eliminating going to the hairdresser and buying hair dye; which led me to grow my hair long and cut the ends myself. In fact, this issue or this question is pertinent to the occasion, I just had to cut my hair a few centimeters because it was dry. Now I'm not really interested in changing the style of cut and prefer to keep it long.
To cut my hair, it must first be wet. Then I gather it in two buns, calculate three fingers and cut it. If I want it shorter, I cut it every three fingers.
