The really journey has been loving and understanding myself through the process. It's been such a challenge in realizing how uncomfortable I had been with myself and how I look. Acknowledging that the real qualities I'm most proud of really have nothing to do with my outer appearance. Also I've loved seeing my hair without a relaxer. The management some days is easier, others can be well...interesting to say the least. BUT I definitely would change it for anything. It's been healthy emotionally and mentally for me being natural. I can't wait for what the next year brings.
