Welcome!

Welcome to Blossoms Anew, formally Blooming in NYC! I recently relocated to a new city on the Eastern Seaboard, Providence, Rhode Island. Since moving, I realized that many of the same lessons that I learned in NYC have carried over here and I am continually striving to reach my personal best. Please join me as I continue to grow as a young lady, transplanted to Southern New England.

Multi-deminsional

Over the past few weeks, I have noticed the many different sides that make me who I am. I can be the sweetest of sweet and deepest of deep and, unfortunately the meanest of mean and more stern than I've ever imagined. Of course, these characteristics only come in certain situations (Thank God!), but they always surprise me.

The sweet, thoughtful and deep me comes out when I'm around people that wont take it as a weakness. It's only when I am truly comfortable and secure that I can let down my guard and show that side of me. In my past experience, people have used that as a weakness and tried to hurt me, with some succeeding. I say that if you have seen me cry, you are truly a friend of mine. However, if you have not seen me cry, you are a step or two below that coveted position. I may not trust or feel fully secure around you for one reason or another.

The mean, stern, and evil me comes out when my passions and values are treated unjustly. This could be dismissing a request, simple or difficult, that is important to me. I've been told that I am selfish, however, as a true Libra, I operate from a balanced stand point. There are things around me that need to be a certain way for me to operate to my full capacity. I must be able to explore all my passions, such as family, friends, education, and spirituality in a balanced manner. When I am not able to do this I am off. The love & security that I get from these four areas makes me the successful, blessed young lady that I am today.

I am CONSTANTLY having this view challenged! It's a learning process because maybe this self-centered view needs to and will change, but for now...this is me. This is how I operate. Balance. The next few posts will be a glimpse into how I've come to above conclusions.

Enjoy my Spring Blossoming!
