Hey guys, i'm not really sure how many of you guys have been keeping up with me lately on my vlog channel or even on like instagram stories. I don't know you might have seen um some videos of me basically breaking down and having a full-on meltdown on the podcast. I don't know. I just don't feel like myself. If you didn't see that i basically uh i i've been in a funk. I'Ve been in a funk this whole year and i just feel guilty for feeling like this or not doing anything or it gets a mental [, __ ]. You know i've been dealing a lot with not feeling inspired or extreme on motivation. I don't know. I just think of how [ __ ] bad my mental health has been. Can i be very honest: everything in me wants me to move and just like have a fresh start, but i'm like alicia. That'S you can't just do that and all you can't do honestly. I don't want to move like. I love a fresh start, but i also love my house and i don't want to move. However, i still just feel kind of stuck where i am right now. I know in my heart i am meant to be here in l.a right now and if i was just to move just to have a fresh start, even though that might feel nice. I know that in the end, that's just me running away from my problems and i don't want to do that so instead, i'm making a list of things that i want to do or change about my life, whether they're huge, whether they're small, i just want to Document the whole process, even if it's something like going on more dates or changing up my bedroom, i i just. I really feel like it's going to help. Obviously, that's still a work in progress. I think i just need to get myself out of my comfort zone and change up. My life like be spontaneous, do different things. I basically feel like i'm kind of in a toxic relationship with myself like it's, not a partner. It'S me and myself, like some of the negative self-talk that i've been having is so [ __ ] and i've never been in this type of head space before i'm like alicia, these negative thoughts, the self-doubt like it's so exhausting. So, in a way, i i feel like i need to break up with that part of me. I would never let myself be treated this way by a friend or a boyfriend, so why am i allowing me to do that to myself? I don't know i'm just tired of feeling this way and i want to fix it so like what anyone usually does. After a breakup uh, we need to change up the hair. We are currently headed to go. Get my hair dyed, i'm not going blonde. Okay, we've had that era, um yellow is not for me. I definitely think brunettes have more fun, but i don't know what i want, but it got me thinking. Why do we all cut our hair after a breakup like it is a thing and after doing some extensive research? Basically it said i have control issues and i just i'd like to regain some power in my life and it wasn't that's not wrong. You know it's not wrong. I know i know for a fact: i'm not the only person who's done this, especially because it quickly came up on that google search. So please tell me some of your horror, post, breakup haircut or color stories. She'S darker, it looks so good, it's funny how something so simple can do so much the other week i put an instagram filter on that gave me bangs and i was obsessed. I was like wait. Am i about to get bangs, but obviously a really big commitment and i ended up ordering some from amazon? Oh my god, i'm nervous, i'm like how do you do you just? Oh my god, it looks really good. Should i well this. I feel like this looks bad right now. I disagree. I think that's really good we're doing it, so we're going to change my part right. That'S what i was going to ask right now. If we do this, do you still want to part right here, whatever you? Whatever you think okay step, two is actually get the bangs now what's the inspo, this is the inspo very bella, hadid very, very model off duty wispy, not just a straight across thick ass bang. We want like sultry sexy very, like chic model, chic bangs. Oh my god, am i gon na regret this, probably taking it away with it yeah. I definitely want it super thin, yeah like eyebrow or below a little below, because hers are like right, like yeah, even like in her eyes, i'm gon na do it longer first and then, if you're like, we can always kind of yeah. Okay, we'll go shorter. Okay, wait where here yeah, i haven't had bangs since i was like, and my mom always gave me bangs, but they were always so crooked. So when i finally like grew them out, i think in like middle school. I never went back because i was like just traumatized from having like the worst bangs ever when i was little. This was my ptsd. Oh my god, look! How uneven like like this was me even like younger, and they were like the swoop me and eyes. Oh, my god, let me know if you've been personally victimized from your parents, cutting your bangs holy [, __ ], i'm scared. They look good. Thank you, they're not clipping they're, not clipping them. They look great wait. You look like bella hadid. That was my. This is a new era unlocked like sheet girl era wow. So essentially, i want to make a list of things to do during the very last year of my 20s, and it can be something as small as getting bangs or changing up my bedroom going on another solo trip or even though i'm totally dreading it going on More dates and putting myself out there, so i don't know if this will ever see the light of day but uh. I just want to document me trying to get my life together. I get it
Comments
Taylor King: this video is amazing. you were born to be a storyteller. I'm SO proud of you!!!
Izabel Vlogs: when i first saw your posts with the bangs i thought to myself "wow, this is HER hairstyle". it looks PERFECT on u
Kristen McAtee: i felt this video on every level. here for you always but these bangs are IT omg they are absolutely perfect. our hair holds a LOT of energy and cutting it is a way to shed that past energy and emotion! i believe that’s why we get that weightless/adrenaline feeling after our hairdressers are done ✨
TimeBucks: The bangs look so good
Marla Catherine: LOVE the bangs!
Sonia’s Way: I'm overwhelmed. The editing, the hair, THE COMEBACK?!?! Everything about this is so inspiring! I'm so excited for you!
MySweetCreationz: This video felt weirdly really comforting to watch. As someone who just graduated college and has NO idea what she wants to do with her life, it’s inspiring to see that someone who feels a little lost right now can acknowledge it too and is going through something similar. (Also relatable cause I also got bangs for the first time literally only a couple months ago!! It’s a big commitment! Lol) We’ve got this y’all
Ciara Wainwright: This should 100% be a series the almost 30 series! I’m in love with this style of video. Pop off Alisha you got this I’m going through a slump and you are motivating me to break up with my negative self!
Khaleesi Everleigh: There is definitely something about this year. I haven't been feeling myself either. I almost cried watching this video. You are keeping it real and that is so important for a teenage girl with anxiety to see. Love from Indianapolis

ifntrachel: literally going through the same thing this whole year has been a mess and a struggle with my mental health this video explained it perfectly and bangs suit you so well alisha wow it literally inspired me to cut mine again because i really let them grow out too long and i felt like a new woman so excited to see where this series goes
kelsie Krick: This series, I'm LIVING for it!!! Wow Alisha, I'm so proud of you, after listening to your podcast, I too went through this life crisis before I turned 30. I'm now 31 and let me tell you, 29 and 30 were the hardest, toughest mental challenging years of my freaking life. I'm still finding my way but I wish I had you around when I was 29! I cant wait to see more of this almost 30 series
Khaleesi Everleigh: I am here for this series! Also breaks my heart to see you struggling with your mental health, but I can't thank you enough for being so open and real about it. ❤️ I hope your days have progressively gotten better.
Eve Viridian: We're the same age, and I'm being extremely down lately as well, I would really just want to sell everything and start all over, just like you have said. I think getting close to 30, we really look back at all the years which have passed, and that can cause a lot of mental issues. I'm so glad you talked about it, and can't wait for this series!
Nikki Miller: Your depression bangs are STUNNING! Seriously, they look sooo good.
Paris Sewell: as someone who is struggling myself, i found this video inspiring. like you, i am my own worst enemy and would constantly criticize myself too. that is going to change! i am inspired to get my life together too and beat this funk. you got this and so do i!! and to everyone else out there who is struggling, it will get better. you got this!!

Shelby Valadez: Love the note at the end♥️ definitely needed the reminder to just breathe and trust that everything will happen the way it’s supposed to. Things may be hard right now but never worry about us thinking badly of you!! There is something so beautiful about watching you authentically grow into the best version of yourself and not just showing us the highlight reels. You got this :)
