What does fulfillment mean to me? It means to be completely satisfied with what God has given to me and not care what the world thinks!
It means to call all imperfections perfect.

Do I always feel this way?
Nope.

A lot of times, we get so caught up in the pressures of life that we put on ourselves to the point that what we have will never be enough to fill us.

We let our thoughts dictate what would be filling go so far beyond what’s in front of you to the point that it brings about the worst anxiety. We go from one extreme to another. We can go from deciding what to wear and how to style our hair all the way to how can we change everything we don’t like about our current season in the matter of days to make us feel happier or to make us feel filled?

As a natural, one of the biggest decisions that I make every day is, “how should I style my hair?” Now what seems like a simple” just wear it curly”always becomes so complicated and overthought by me. “Should I wear it in a big puff?!” “What about a dope fro-hawk?!” Or “what about a cute top knot with curls hanging?!” “Maybe a bomb pineapple?!”
Now combine something as simple as choosing a hairstyle with dealing with pressures of making major life decisions such as career choices, financial decisions, pursuing a master’s degree, and planning for the future. Doing all the previous and still trying to NOT be anxious about turning 30, veering my focus away from what I have not done or obtained, and trying not to worry about how all the plans I have for life will come into reality. It makes me go…NUTS!!!
Fulfillment is to wear your hair just as it is. Let go and fro it out. Let them perfectly imperfect curls fall just the way they are. Completely unfiltered. No slick edges. No head bands. Just my curls all over my head, free and flourishing. And don’t forget to take life and wear it the same way.

My advice to you and myself is to always embrace what has been given to you in the current season and all that comes with it. Just as it is. God has given you everything you need for this season.

Every now again, we need a simple reminder. My curly fro reminds to always take life as it is and wear it just how God made it. Perfectly imperfect. When I wear it with no manipulation, I feel complete and fulfilled.
Be filled and rock that unfiltered fro with confidence and grace. Rock your life the same way. Completely fulfilled 😊
