Solace of the Solitary
General Talk
hi everyone.i agree with you because since i started my lock journey i have gained alot of courage and happiness in life.a brief history about my locks.i first loved dreadlocks and new there was something hidden in them when i was 5years,i told my mum i wanted dreads on my hair but as expected with any parent she refused at that time.7 years later something again happen and one friday as i was coming home from school i got lost because it was too dark and i feared 4 my life and at that time i was tired and decided i should take a rest on the streets veranda.only 4 me to fall asleep and i remember i had taken lunch and had no money to by myself food.i was lucky because there is this rasta who saw me and came to my rescue although i cant remember him clearly since i was young but the impact he gave on me was great and even made me desire and have more passion to have locks be like him and be willing to help everyone who requires my help and am in a position to do so,he gave me food that he had,and covered me with his only blanket and taught me good things that could help me in real life,he taught me to do what my conscious told me was right since its the only weapon that can rebel against my decisions.the following morning i woke up and he was not there and had left and i was able to trace my way home,my parents had been looking 4 me and were worried.after 3 months i told my mum i would like to have dreads but she refused again and i persisted and was only able to convince her but on condition that firsti should study hard and go to university and thats when she would support me when i dread my hair,i kept my part of the bargain and she too has kept hers.i never knew what other people would say about my decision to keep dreads until i put them on and started receiving both positive and negative comments about my lifestyle and i enjoy having them and the fact that people would not put off their eyes from my hair whenever i talk to them,many wonder how hair could lock like that on their own,but its though the help of this site that i have achieved my dream,thankyou!!!so when i decided to put on dreadlocks my consious told me it was right and i have no regrets.
