sly as a fox 🦊 / Weekend-Engagement writing topics # 162

*What's up beautiful people of @WeekendExperiences, I hope you are having a beautiful Sunday. Personally I've been feeling a bit down and sluggish as I've been stuck in the room hibernating for a couple of days, these have not been my best days but I know I'll feel better soon. I discovered the publication of Mr. @galenkp just a couple of hours ago and it is a relief to still have time to participate in this week's commitment #162. I wanted to respond to all the topics as I found them all excellent and thought it would be a good idea to add them together in the same post. I hope you like it:)*

* *One of the best trips* *I haven't really had many opportunities to take trips that far but of all the places I've gone and documented definitely the best was on last year's caicara monkey. I know many of you are wondering what the heck is that? Let me quickly explain: It is a cultural event that is celebrated every year in the town of Caicara, Cedeño Municipality, where it is customary to bring acrylic paints to dye the other people in addition to traditional and themed dances of the date. The legends point out that on these dates the Chaimas and Pariagotos Indians used to ask and acclaim nature for the abundance of their crops and in exchange they worshipped them with dances and sacrifices. A curious fact is that it is celebrated on the same day of the Innocents, December 28th. I really enjoyed going, I had a great time and I am looking forward to going next year.*

* *My animal characteristic* *I have always considered myself very empathetic, I have always been concerned about what others around me might think, their feelings, their discomforts and their comforts, if there is any misunderstanding I tend very much to understand the other person and therefore share their emotion. This is sometimes a bit annoying as I tend to believe that no one will be that way for me and that I am wasting my time. However, being so understanding brings with it an excellent ability that not everyone has, to be cunning, as cunning as a Fox. For me it is very constant to live situations where I study and analyze the actions and gestures of people close to me, unintentionally and without anyone noticing it! Although I owe this virtue to being a woman, because many women know how to manipulate the art of dissimulation perfectly. I have known on many occasions when someone is lying to me and better yet I have used that withheld information for my own benefit. All of this in turn leads to having a certain convincing power that can be very powerful if used correctly. This is why I chose the fox, besides being one of my favorite animals, it has an incomparable ability to deceive, obtain food and survive.*

* *Bad hair* *Wow, I didn't think the time to talk about one of my worst tragedies would come so fast but well, I'll tell you a little bit about it: I always had wavy hair, it was long, shiny and very, very soft.*

*I was in my teens and I had the brilliant idea to paint my hair blue. Eventually it started to turn green so I applied a dye of my own color but no matter how much I covered it, it always came out with golden tones due to the amount of bleach they applied, so I opted to cut my hair. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of my blue hair but I do have pictures of when I cut it, you can still see orange tones in it.*

*After I grew my hair long, I constantly applied dark natural dyes to cover the orange color until it looked like this:*

*Two years ago, at the beginning of Christmas, I did the same trick but this time with a champagne color instead of blue:*

*As you can see, my hair was already very damaged, dry and with all the split ends, so I decided to cut it at the end of December but this time much shorter, down to my shoulders:*.

*I liked it, it was stylish and looked good on me. Everything went very well until it started to lose shape and look like this:*

*So I decided to cut it once again (Yes, that's how intense I am) I wanted to add volume and remove the yellow strands in the front, it was supposed to look good (in my mind) but it turned out like this:*

*I never thought I looked younger than I already did, people when they see me think I'm a 15 or 16 year old girl, they are shocked to know that I'm actually 22 years old and it's funny, but annoying at the same time. Anyway, I'm not going to doubt that it was a little fun to cut my hair but I know it would have looked better.*

* *My opinion about the quote: "Such as your habitual thoughts are, so shall the character of your mind be also; for the soul is colored by the thoughts."* *It turns my stomach to read this since I am currently going through a destructive moment for my brain, previously I had already been a person who overthinks things but as time has passed it has been increasing in complexity. I have always been somewhat spiritual and I am guided by energies, I try to think as positive as possible to attract positive things but it is inevitable to stop listening to that little devil that I have in my left shoulder, which whispers to me every time it can the most negative and disturbing things that you can think of. I am totally clear that the author responsible for all this is my subconscious, therefore I am myself, so there is no better solution than to overcome the difficult things, the adversities of life, love myself even more and move forward because the road will always lead us forward.* *I really thank you for taking the time to look at my publication and I wish you a good start of the week, see you next time, bye bye.*
