I'm 7 months in on my dread journey. At first I wanted to try dreads for something new. Now it's become an important journey for me,It really lit up my life I'd like to hear what your dreads mean to you? What has your journey been like ? One love to you all.

My journey was inspired by three things, actually!
1. The desire to let go of my vanity (some of it, anyway) -- I wanted to learn how to accept things as they were.
2. The desire to master patience -- I've always been a very impatient, tempermental person, so yeah.
3. The desire to put down roots -- This is purely symbolical, but still. Shortly after I started dreading, I moved away from a bad situation and to a town where I'd like to start over and establish a new life. Put down roots, if you will.
