Bright red lipstick

Today I put on my best bright red lipstick to sit about the house and study. I didn’t take a photo, I didn’t post it anywhere, but I did it for me. It made me feel pretty, and powerful, and creative at the same time.

I used to think that being feminine or doing typically feminine things such as wearing bright red lipstick and painting my nails made me weak.  I don’t really know why. Perhaps it was because as a closet tomboy I used to associate those things with the girls at school who used to ask me for help with their maths homework. The juxtaposition to that was that at some point in time, I became one of those girls in my desperate attempt to fit in. Highschool, or let’s say, middle school, those angsty 6-9 years were a wild time indeed, but I digress.

See the beautiful thing here is that I no longer feel like as though I need to pick a side as I did back then. I can be pretty and wear red lipstick, and be smart, and hardworking and creative and like sport and whatever the fuck else I want to be. That’s where the power lies. That wearing red lipstick doesn’t make me anything, it doesn’t put me in a box because at least in my mind, the box no longer exists; it is one that I created that I have now freed myself from.

So, I will continue to sit here in my bright red lipstick as I draft a report for an assignment in my Masters program that I worked dam hard to get into and I will not question, or answer to anyone (including myself) who asks me why the fuck I’m doing what I am.

I am now going to attempt to plant a desert rose which (my Mum says she thinks that's what it is from the photos I sent her) literally shot up out of nowhere 👉🏽 Mum suggested that maybe a seed blew onto our balcony 🍀 I don't have green fingers, but hay what else I gotta do round this place 💪🏽 • 🎵 FOCUS ~ H.E.R 💙 . . . . . . . #stayhome #staysafe #mykl #plantlife #isolationdiaries #kualalumpur #instablog #bloggergram #lblogger #wocblogger #mybitchyrestingface (at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-wUMrbJR3j/?igshid=1edxh1cxjx26

Drinking too much coffee is bad for health, specially in this heat. Then again, who cares as long as you are having profound coffee conversations. Friend: You were down with Covid during the first wave, right? It must have been depressing. TDW: Depressing seems like an understatement. Friend: That bad, huh? TDW: Imagine being locked out of your house. You live in the same place, but you can't see or feel your family. You know, people point out the health symptoms of Covid-19. There are mental repercussions. Friend: The coffee is good so I am all ears. After an awkward pause of 3-5 mins, TDW: One of the toughest symptoms of COVID-19 that me and my wife had to bear was the distance. You are living in the same house and yet, you cannot meet your family or go near to them. You seem so helpless. You cannot do anything for them. You can only wish everything stabilizes. But deep down, you know what is coming. Still, you have to choose to stay away. Friend: You know, I have always felt that Covid-19 is here to teach us all the meaning of sacrifice. TDW: Indeed...you sacrifice yourselves to save the one's you love the most. But sometimes... it really doesn't matter. *Bill please* #coffeeconversations #coffeetalk #deepthoughts #thinkinghard #coffeetime #coffee #teatalk #friendshipgoals #relationshipgoals #life #conversations #talkovertea #coffeewednesdays #lifeinametro #isolationdiaries #quarantine #covid19 #pandemiclife https://www.instagram.com/p/CNFOH4gh8IE/?igshid=166l2oqjevhky

Isolation Diaries #3

I feel like I haven’t been creatively active lately but I’ve took a break for myself with a sprinkle of pressure. I’ve been very exhausted lately growing from my little baby growing and growing. It’s been mentally and physically frustrating at times and I feel like everything has hit me all at once so bare with me! In the midst of appointments, trying to find a house

Some ideas/things I need to update and do would be:

Updating the online art exhibition blog

Make more tiny models of an exhibition space

More artist research

Catch up with my notes

Write my essay (which is my biggest stress induced thing lately) 

Work a little more on my mod rock

[beatabernina]

There is a little darkness inside my heart but I know there is also hope trying to grow. . . . #allthingsbotanical #blooooms #bloomsday #floweraddict #flowersmakemehappy #underthefloralspell #flowerstalker #ihavethisthingwithflowers #dailydoseofflowers #distractionsandinspiration #whimsicalwonderfulwild #underthefloralspell #worldinbloom #theslowdowncollective #searchwandercollect #artasspiritualpractice #embracingtheseason #allwhatsbeautiful #botanicalpickmeup #isolationdiaries #isolationcreation #floralfix #shotoniphone #flowerphotos #oftheafternoon #nothingisordinary #lekkerzine #nature_seeker #naturesbeauty (at West Hollywood, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAuJA2UnvTQ/?igshid=o3iurcywfw1j

Isolation is tough for a soul who's intrinsic love language is physical touch and quality time.
