Last year was pretty crazy, and it ended on a really sour note. But lately things have been lookin up! I've realized (and it only took 17 years, jesus h macy) that things are only going to be sucky if you let them be sucky. We live very short lives, and I think most of the time we spend our days just passing by and doing a routine because we're told it's safe and we should do so.
I don't want mediocrity. I want to seek out and do everything I can possibly do to make myself happy, and hopefully the people I care about happy as well. I don't want safety, I want a thrill, I want to get what I want out of life and I'm gonna get it if I have to kick and scream and work to the bone and eat beans every day of my life. I'm a workoholic and I need to do what I love constantly and so I've decided to do so. It's that simple.
My life is gonna be changing so fast in the next few months, and I'm not going to be the same person by the end of the year. I'm sure one day I'll look back on this post and want to smack myself for my teenage naiviety, but honestly, I'll wait for that to happen. I've already become a very cynical, very jaded person and I don't need to add on to that. I want to work hard and be happy with the way I am and change what I can.
So here's to change! Let us all be empowered and learn about everything ever and damn the naysayers. Who has time to waste on negativity anyway.
So, hello! I am Arabelle version 3.0 and I'm ready to be awesome.

Absolutely brilliant hair and the manifesto kind of kicks ass too. You remind me of a punk It's not like your some modern punk,though (dickhead just didn't seem appropriate in this context). It's an obvious, 1977 original punk rock look.
ddudududududududududududududude your hair oh my gosh i love iT LOVE IT LOVE
WOAH. THE HAIR IS SO GOOD!
You look like a hot My Little Pony.

Oh, woman! This post makes me really really happy. The combination of your epic hair and post-teen angst realizations. I remember thinking the exact same thing myself.
You are already awesome! now you can just let the awesomness grow exponentially!

Seriously, this is the best version of ombre I've seen yet. Came out wonderfully! You go kick ass the rest of this year!

Greetings & salutations! I just started a blog and I came across yours. Very interesting, I must say. And I absolutely love your hair!
I saw a photo of Katie Shillingford on the Style Rookie's blog that she used as inspiration for dying her hair...
http://tavi-thenewgirlintown.blogspot.com/2010/01/lets-do-this.html
It looks just like yours!
Can't wait to see you rockin' it
good for you!I totally agree with you, though I think I'm forced to let things be a little sucky for me until I get to uni >.>
Love the look btw. The hair looks awesome!

It's AMAZING. I seriously can't handle it.
I am SO READY for some awesomeness and damn, you certainly look more than ready to deliver.
LOVE.
It's compelling and it's amazing, but most of all it's you.
That's what life is about right?

This is pretty much a useless comment, but anyway:
YES. yesyesyesyesyes! Your hair... is fantastic, I love the change <3
Wow, love the hair! The three colors go great together! I'm actually coloring my hair cotton candy pink today. May I ask, what colors did you use? (This only really applies if you did it yourself)
your hair is ama-zingggg... and i think that's a really good way of looking at life.
My god, that hair is AWESOME!
Your hair looks amazing !
your hair is amazingly amesome! i need to see more pictures..it reminds me of of daryln hannah's hair in Blade Runner but way more colorful.
Also so true about everything you said. poop on negativity and those who take more than they give.
oh awesome! love the new attitude - I'm trying to be somewhat similar this year. just reaching goals and all the rest... love the hair too! the purple looks amazing. bet it feels much lighter!
xx
Lovw your photos!! Awesome outfit as well.
your hair is so rad!
http://thedollhouse0101.blogspot.com/
this post just hit a nerve, as I have feeling a similar way. I need to be happy in my own skin and not just trying to make everyone else happy.(If I can make everyone else happy on the way that would be cool:))
meow meow meow (your hair is cool in cat speak)
I love your hair! So awesome, kind of like Enid from "Ghost World".
Very edgy. Very chic. I love it. ;]
Love the post, and the hair is pretty awesome too! :D
great post, great hair!!

I thought that was a beautifully and very expensive wig.
It looks great. If it was done the wrong way, it would have been an absolute disaster, but it isn't!
amazing attitude! keep it going! inspire others with it :) it made me feel a little more motivated myself.
In reading this, I felt like I was reading a diary entry (for a diary I never wrote) when I was in high school. Felt the exact same way and it's so important to hold onto that as you grow up. Things might change, but the awesomeness is still within reach. I promise.
yaaay, awesome post! i agree completely and i'm glad you have the guts to go out and do it :)
YOUR HAIR IS BLOWING MY MIND.
And truer words were never spoken.
I'm feeling sorta the same way.
Here's to the (end?) of teen angst. Hear, hear!
I have never wanted colorful hair more that now. Absolutely amazing haircut.
And your manifesto make me think. I want to be so brightly when I'll be 17.
AMEN!
http://lhabitue.blogspot.com/
HOLY SHIT!!! that's is glorious!
Your hair looks faboosh! And your manifesto is right on- work hard, enjoy your life and make yourself and those you love happy.
Dare I say it - it's a sign of maturity when you can think of yourself and the well being of others(family) in the same sentence. All the best!
Your hair is amaze! Love your whole manifesto type thing :)

Wow! I LOVE the hair! I would be SO much more apt to die my hair if I could do that! PLEASE tell me how you did it!!! Also, I love your enthusiasm for life! I want to go get everything I want too but I also happen to be VERY lazy... >_< But go you! xD
I wish I had the same state of mind as you!
Congrats on your new positive attitude and good luck!
RAINBOW HAIR= AMAZINGNESS!!! I can tell you right now that I am going to be coming back to your blog many times this week just the look at your hair. YOU ARE AWESOME FOR DOING THIS. :-)

Bahaha, I love it.
Your hair is just so amazing.
for some reason I was expecting it.
Change is good, unless your going off down the wrong road, THEN I AM NOT ENCOURAGING IT.
Yeah. So I love it, and I wish my parents would let me die my hair but then again maybe I am to indecisive to do so.
P.S.
I literally am obsessed with your blog at the momento.
THIS LOOKS AWESOME! I also love the cut itself...and the different shades and the way they were layered. I would never be badass enough to do this but it looks amazing. I also really appreciate your post. Obviously it was more something of internal reflection or musing, but even so, it's nice to read this sometimes even if its not really intended for 'me'. Something to keep things in perspective when things are as particularly stressful as we all know they can be. Thanks.
Very well said. And WOAH. Your hair looks freakin' amazing :)
Stunning pictures.And really a well post from you.

Your hair is AWESOME.
You go girl!
Look at the 2nd pic. See how you and the oven front kind of look the same? I'm not imagining that, right? Good.
i love the background of those pictures. what is that? some sort of awesome machine?
i like your new way of thinking :) embrace the day !
love your blog .xxo
This hair style / colour is brilliant!
Amiable brief and this mail helped me alot in my college assignement. Gratefulness you for your information.
This is exactly how I felt when I was still at school and so ready to leave, and I'm happy to say that though I felt shit at the time, I worked hard and now I'm 24, about to start a PhD, making zines, writing articles, and generally being happier than ever. I WISH I had been born a few years later and had access to blogs like yours to inspire me in my teenage years (or else been born a few years earlier and been old enough for Riot Grrrl!) but at least I had Ghost World and Daria to see me through... Anyway, to conclude this ramble, you are great, and it's so cool you're obviously inspiring lots of other girls to be creative, independent thinkers too. I hope and am sure that amazing things are going to happen for you in the next few years.
oh. my goodness. you are so frikkin cute. I loved the cop video that was hilarious!
I love more more more more the blog! Is very lovely! So cool!
I follow you now! Because I love your colour hair! hahahahaha!
A big kiss
your hair is craaaaazy! :p you´re very brave ahahah

I think you'd like Atlas Shrugged, if you haven't read it yet: "Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours".
A good read. And may I say, your HAIR! It's fantastic!
Love the background in these pics.
the hair is awesome. plus this post is very wise. double-whammy.
great hair!
