alright alright, i know what you’re thinking: we’re on volume 2 already? there was barely a volume 1…
me being me, i choose to turn a blind eye towards that fact and instead focus on going forward motion. ladies and gentlemen, here we are at volume 2. in all seriousness, the main reason why i’ve chosen to close volume 1 is because of the big changes that has gone through my life since a year ago which is, incidentally, the same time my last post made it out to this site 🙂
since then, i’m now i’m in my last year or pre-uni education, and got a job under my internship programme (corporate girl or whateva, you know) – with that being said, this baggage obviously comes with some knowledge tips that i ever so gratefully will share with my audience here because of the kind, good hearted person i am <3
i’m joking but let’s get one to i guess lesson 1 of volume 3 which i will unofficially title, “chronicles of a beautiful disaster”;
nevermind that sounded way better in my head so – scratch that, i’ll come up with another title idea in the next post.
the word addictions is rather broad now that i think about it so i shall narrow it down a little – the aspect of addictions i’m talking about comes in the form of habits – honestly it could be something you constantly do everyday like grabbing a latte from the same starbucks hoping in silent, wishful thinking that the barista behind the counter you’ve got a crush on is there with his/her pen and a venti-sized cup awaiting to ask you the sweet question of “your name is?”
now that i’m in my late teens, i find it hard to stick to a regular schedule of habits for ANYTHING. when we were kids, if our parents fed us the same meals every day i doubt we had a piece of our mind to give. now its the complete opposite – i can barely stick to a regular skincare routine because i’m either too tired for the entire regimen, or already obsessed with another product i have in my online cart. one thing i love and will never let go off though, is my love for lip products.
lip masks, lip tints, lip stains, lip balms – you name it – i’m a hoarder of. in fact its something i’ve grown to be PROUD of (as unhealthy as that sounds); and i guess everyone has their own obsession over that one thing for no logical reasoning – i say this lightheartedly because let’s be real, how many pairs of lips do i have?? exactly, one.
but on to the lesson – that one something that we hoard, or do constantly brings us some sort of endorphins or dopamine induced happiness, (correct me if i’m wrong because i am no bio student) and with that being said, i think its important to have these little harmless things to keep us going.
at this point, i’m basically willing to give either all that i have or half of it for what its worth to at least make me smile and have the “i guess its not so bad after all” thought enter my brain. so the key takeaway here is to find something to truly enjoy that brings no harm to you, and to others – you might find yourself at least having a good mood for 30 seconds before drowning in your dreaded mock exam paper or video lecture.
