I’ll definitely revisit this later and do some editing and figure out how I want to structure my posts, because my perfectionist brain is screaming at me to have some sense of structure and plot to this project, but honestly right now I am just enjoying ranting to the void about whatever comes into my very overfilled-with-useless-information brain

Keywords: chaos , fuck adulting , personal , rant , scatterbrain

I’m now most likely going to go back to trawling linkedin for translation opportunities because apparently I am not a good person if I am not productive and contributing to capitalism in some way, shape or form. Fucking adulting. What a drag.

I want to give you things to think about and form your own conclusions, which may be entirely different than my own

Keywords: {0}

So, let’s be clear from the outset my intent is to [present] some things for you to think about. I will not do all the research, I’m not a journalist, I’m not a politician, my grammar and spelling are imperfect, and even my thoughts and opinions are imperfect. However, if I can challenge you to think about what I’ve written than my mission is accomplished.

I want to fall in love once again and this time, maybe Forever

Keywords: Life , musings , bloggerlife , Life Lessons , lovestory , Readergram , Women Writers , Writersgram

When I was down with fever, I always thought, “What if I died alone in an apartment?” My soul kept screaming that, “You would die after hearing those magical words, never lose hope.” I want to trust my heart even though it was sedated that night. I want to be someone’s forever in this world full of “Maybe.” Love as magical as it sounds, can be my cause of loneliness. Love as joyful as it sounds, might break my strength. Maybe someday, someone would save my drowning soul. Maybe I get to hear my share of “I love you.” At the end of my story, there will always be a “Maybe.”

Rather than honeyed words, I would rather hear the truth

Keywords: {0}

I often think of the quote “nobody is perfect”, and that is true to all individuals. Even if we have imperfections, we should opt to always try our best and aim for the best version of ourselves. Be humble, kind and admit one’s mistakes and own them. Acknowledgement of one’s mistake shows integrity as a person.

I wanted to do everything not to pass this on to them

Keywords: childcare

I wanted them to love their own bodies and appreciate all the beauty in others. I’m talking about their bodies not just for what they look like, but for what they can do. I am not telling them that they cannot wear certain clothes even if they are not flattering. Because I’ve read all the stuff that says it’s not what we say as mothers but what we do, I also vowed never to denigrate my body in front of them, not even mics – assaults like mumbling an outfit makes me look fat, or that I “really shouldn’t be eating anything”.

Help me gain more confidence in my work and when presenting my work to others

Keywords: inspiration , learning on the job

I would like to get to a place where I can take criticism without getting defensive and acknowledging that everyone has their own opinions. It is crucial within design to be able to grow from criticism, not every potential employer will like your work, not every client will understand your creative vision but that is ok. If I can work on honing my skills to the best of my ability, learning from criticism and creating work that I am proud of then I hope everything else will follow in time.

Caring for your mental health while still getting things done is difficult

Going forward, I really do hope that I can stand up again and be on my way to once again cultivating the life I want. If you’ve managed to make it this far, thank you for reading. I really, really hope that you can’t relate to this one, but if you do, I want you to know that the human experience- despite how nuanced and varied it may appear- is generally similar. Despite the intricate and small differences in or day to day lives, experiences with mental health, and overall associations and interactions with the world, we all experience feelings of inadequacy, self doubt, and have bad days. Being better isn’t about being perfect, but is about being forgiving to ourselves, allowing us to have the time and space to heal, and celebrating the wins, no matter how small. With all of that being said, I think I’ll end with this: Tomorrow will bring better.
