2016.

It’s crazy to look back at who you started off this year with, and who you’re ending it with.

Who would have known right?

As disappointed in myself with how I began this year and who I devoted my time and effort to, I’m just glad that that isn’t the way I’m ending it.

I’m so glad that I’ve made the choices I’ve made and decided to surround myself with the people I have now.

Beyond ready for you, 2017.

Death.

Has it ever occurred to your mind of how it is going to happen? Suppose if it were to happen. I have always wondered where I’d go, or if my spirit will still be alive. I always wonder what would change, and will people miss me? 
I am not afraid of dying because pieces of me dies all the time. I am just afraid of exiting the known and into the unknown.

PS. Here's a little update on my life if you don't follow me on other social media platforms - 

I know I rarely post on here anymore, life does get busy/hectic, which I was so grateful it happened this way, because I get so busy that I don't even have time to think about those who have hurt me. Now they're all gone from the back of my mind. My priorities have changed. I know what I want now. I know what matters to me the most now. And I will not let any insignificant people get in the way of my road to achievement and success.

Few days ago, I lost my grandma (if you have followed me on my other social media platforms). She practically was like my second mum who took care of me when I was little and when parents were working. I had a really close bond with her, and the fact that I couldn't be with her till her last breath, it took a huge toll on me. I couldn't process it all when I received the news. I cried non-stop (out of nowhere) when I thought of her and the fond memories I had with her.

Anyways, while I'm still coping in this hard time I'm in, I've been actively managing my beauty instagram, feel free to follow me on my instagram (LINK) I post everything about beauty, makeup, skincare, etc. 

As of tomorrow, I'll be back to blogging regularly (on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday) on my beauty blog (LINK).

So yea, that's pretty much my life right now. Busy all day everyday! So busy that I haven't caught up with any drama, but it's good in a way because then when I do get the time, I can watch heaps without having to wait for weeks to watch the next!

Don't be shy, come and say "Hi" to me in my beauty world, my page welcomes you to the family :)

Love always x

This one time I was pumping gas at the petrol station, a stranger was also pumping gas at the other pump. I always smile at strangers, so I smiled at him. He told me I had a very special and genuine smile. I told him thankyou. Then he told me to never let anyone take that smile away from me. And I think that was one of the sweetest things a stranger has ever told me. It meant a lot.

“How strange it is. We have these deep terrible lingering fears about ourselves and the people we love. Yet we walk around, talk to people, eat and drink. We manage to function. The feelings are deep and real. Shouldn't they paralyse us? How is it we can survive them, at least for a little while? We drive a car, we teach a class. How is it no one sees how deeply afraid we were, last night, this morning? Is it something we all hide from each other, by mutual consent? Or do we share the same secret without knowing it? Wear the same disguise?” - Don DeLillo

Adult realisation: you will make mistakes, you will act irrationally. You will commit some wrongs that cannot be fully righted. People will dislike you and misunderstand you for all sorts of reasons. None of these make you a bad person. All you can do is try your best to be kind and just grow and learn.

Don’t invalidate people’s struggles because you’ve been through worse. If someone is tired after working for 6 hours and you worked for 8, it doesn’t mean that they’re not allowed to be tired. It doesn’t mean they can’t feel what they’re feeling just because you’ve had it worse.

Naps are the worst kind of temptation.. They promise you rest and wellness but leave you with a cloudy headache and an inescapable drowsiness the rest of the day.

Constructive criticism is good criticism, remember that.

I started thinking today, and I realised how many great people are in my life.

And it’s not to say that the great people can completely erase all of the people who make me feel bad or all of the crap situations I have to deal with, but they make them better.

Because at the end of the day, at least someone’s there. At least there are people who try to make me happy and who like to be with me.

At least there’s something like that to give me faith :)
