Some friends would ask what's wrong with me lately because I haven't been dressing up. If you're a close friend of mine, you'll know that if I feel good, it shows in my outfit (except when I just came from the gym)-dressing up is more than just looking good for me.
Aside from being a gym creature for a year now, there's just so much things going on in my mind lately that dressing up is my least priority. Not only that, I haven't been feeling good at all, plus there's more that I could not seem to put into words, but I know they're there. #4thCycleHits
After an epiphanic conversation with a friend (which I will share some time in November via Coffee Conversations), I finally found out why I have been feeling and looking like crap lately: I have been so hard on myself and I've been unconsciously letting things define me to a point that I have let them suck the best out of me. What happened? How did it come to this in the first place? I don't know, honestly-we could all be very careful, but the world can be so sneaky sometimes.
If there's one advice that always pulls me out of hell holes and clears my head just like how Vlad The Impaler of Dracula Untold cleared up the skies and killed his kind (Have you seen the movie? It turned out to be awesome. :D), it's this: Don't Worry It Will All Be Over.
Five years from now, I will just laugh at this. I will just laugh at them, but in a non-evil way. Five years from now, I will be thankful that this happened because if it didn't, I wouldn't learn and be able to say "Never again."

In the future, I'll be able to just put on this crazy face when the same situation happens because by then, I am smarter.

I'm feeling better now so I intentionally dressed up for this blog post. What are you going through? Don't worry, pal, it will all be over. :)

Aw, I'm glad you're okay now. I've been through those times as well and I can say that it's really hard to deal with. But after those dragging moments, I realized that there's always more to life. :)
ReplyDeleteStay strong and don't let other people ruin you!!! We can't please everybody so be it... Just be yourself!!!
ReplyDeleteGoing back to your OOTD, I liked your top, it's really nice and your skirt is so cute...
Sometimes, I try to think why is this happening to us. Why we can't please anybody. Am I that bad on myself. All I do is pray to God, knowing that things happen for a reason and you don't have to worry about the bad things that come to your life. After praying I realized that there are still people who would support you and be a friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the uplifting comments, ladies. :D Really appreciate them.. :D
ReplyDeleteNice blue printed top, which perfectly matches your black skirt and shoes.
ReplyDeleteLife is constantly flowing and changing. Nothing lasts forever. The saying "This too shall pass" is true both in good times and bad. Equanimity (even-mindedness) is bliss.
Hope you're having a good-feeling day!
Let me know what you think of this post! :)
