Goodbye To Junior Year Me

This is such a bittersweet moment, the last blog of junior year. I cannot believe that it is already here. Look how times flies by when you are enjoying yourself! I do not know where to start; I titled this blog “Goodbye to Junior Year Me” because every year of high school I developed into a better version of me. Each year I learned something new about myself, and I can say that my junior year has been the most informative. So, this blog post is dedicated to the young woman I became this year, and goodbye to the obstacles I overcame.

I do not know about you guys, but I feel like every year of high school I look different. So I want to take this moment to observe the changes I made physically from the beginning of the school year to the end.

Beginning of the year              

End of the year                           

Okay so the change is not major but my face is skinnier. My hair may look like it hasn’t changed, but trust me my hair went through IT this year. I almost lost my edges, my hair started to break off, and my dye completely grew out. I know what you may be thinking, “Steph, I thought this was the year for growth sis!” I thought so too sis, but girl school hit the stage and my patience, along with my hair, left. I mean there even was a period when I wanted to go bald, I was stressed out. My split ends got so bad, I had to give myself a cute little trim. That is what I’m rocking right now. Remember queens, HEALTH OVER LENGTH!

Next, I want to evaluate is my music taste. Now my music taste has evolved this junior year. I believe I have every genre of music on my playlist (even country, do not clown me lol). This school year has been the year of great music! I was introduced to artists like Megan THEE Stallion, Lucky Daye, and Ibrahim Ferrer to name a few. On top of that my favorite artist release new albums that I love like Brent Fayiaz, Steve Lacy, WILLOW, Kali Uchis, and many more. I do believe 2020 is the year of music. Here is a playlist that I have been making since the year started if you are interested in. All of the songs were not made in 2020, however, this is the songs I have discovered.

Now, I want to evaluate the people I surround myself with. Some people I came into this school year with I don’t even speak to anymore. That is not a bad thing though. I am a strong believer that people come into your life to teach you a lesson. Every person who I had an encounter with taught me a lesson about myself, and I am forever grateful for that so thank you. Also, for the ones who are still in my life, I hope that we continue to grow our connection and may it last forever. But if it doesn’t that is okay, too. I still will love you. We have to normalize ending friendships on good terms. Not everyone is meant to last forever, and just because we aren’t close anymore doesn’t mean we have beef. It’s forever all love here.

Finally, the last thing I want to evaluate is my mindset. I have learned some valuable lessons this year, and with every lesson, I became smarter and stronger. I had to overcome obstacles this school year but I learned not to complain or even stress over them. Because I know that the man above has me, and all I can do is put my trust in him. So, I have let go trying to control everything in my life. Everything will play out as it should. I honestly can say I am proud of myself for my growth. I cannot wait to see the person I become my senior year of high school. So with that been said, goodbye junior year Stephyne, hello senior year Stephyne!
