Share Your World : Cee’s Photogrpahy … Jan pt2

If you lost a bet and had to dye your hair a color of the rainbow for a week, what color would it be?  

I feel like this is supposed to be a bad thing, but I would LOVE to dye my hair Violet. I have actually really wanted to do that for a while. However, I do not like the idea of having to bleach my hair again. I did that once to get red in and I feel the damage already. My hair is really dark, so I’d have to bleach it.

If you could choose one word to focus on for 2017, what would it be?

Happiness…Last year was so up and down, and although it wasn’t a horrible year. My health though held me back a lot last year on a lot of things that I want to do. So even if my health doesn’t improve, which I can tell it is. I want to focus on anything that just makes me happy, whether I’m outside, inside, by myself or with others. Nothings going to happen if I’m miserable and I give in!

What was one thing you learned last year that you added to your life?

Be assertive! I have struggled with that so much for the whole of my life. After an certain incident last year, I was not assertive enough. Although the person was pretty unreasonable, I should have made them pull over, or kicked the car door open. Or even actually pee all over their car since they wouldn’t let me out. That would have taught them!

If life was ‘just a bowl of cherries’… which fruit other than a cherry would you be..?

I think I would probably be a Grape. Never sour (most of the time), satisfying. Small, easy to fit your pocket,lol … Healthy for you,lol
