where have i been?

Have you ever found yourself on another planet, a cold isolated rock where nothing exists, not even *gasp* the internet? Neither have I. I’ve been right here wondering which of my many writings to put up and posting snippets on my twitter. I am such a perfectionist when it comes to my writing, I want to give out my best, but then we can’t always be perfect so I end up not posting anything. My dear readers, I apologize. Good, bad, I’m putting it up…we can’t always be perfect.

Speaking of perfection, wouldn’t it be awesome if our lives were perfect? If everything fell in place at just the right moment? Funny how we all want that when deep down we know it can never happen. No one is or can be perfect. Perfection is relative. What’s perfect for me may be imperfect for you. Your beauty may be my ashes. We both look at the horizon, I see the setting sun, you see the clouds and someone else sees the vibrant hues, it’s the same thing we are all looking at but we see different things.

Take a moment to enjoy life, make memories, and overwhelm your senses. Do something daring. Step out of your comfort zone into uncharted waters, explore, discover, live.

We were made to thrive not survive. Put your phone away, step out of the house, love those around you, don’t just send emojis, be the emoji. Smile, laugh, cry, hope, love, above all live.

Whoa. Did I get carried away or what.

Anywho, I have exciting news. As you all know, I like pretty things, and I’m a girl (no seriously I am, martians have gender) so I’ll be launching a new lifestyle blog/website. It’s actually a collaboration with my twin *serious face* yes, I have a twin.

It’ll have tutorials (on everything under the sun, if we know it, we’ll teach you, if we don’t we’ll go learn then teach you) product reviews (want to try out something new? We’ll be your guinea pigs), food (because deep down we all love food) the list is endless, we are going to have fun with it, you can call our new baby a beauty blog if that makes you feel better. There will be something for the guys and the girls, the old and the young, the hungry and the thirsty. Our doors are wide open to everyone, human or martian

the best things in life

We all get to experience the best things in life but we are so busy chasing the finer things we forget to take some time to enjoy and appreciate the best. Don’t know what I mean? Read on.

1) Naps: these are one of the best things you could ever experience. Those naps that are so good you wake up confused with a silly look on your face, you have to blink more than once so your eyes focus, there are streaks on your arms or parts of your face, and if it was really really good, there’s drool, dried saliva tracks (y’all be looking all cute and stuff but you know, deep down in your hearts that this has happened to each and everyone of us before, don’t be ashamed). They cost nothing and they feel so good.

2) Watergasm: The feeling you get after you’ve been thirsty for so long and you finally get some water to drink. Honestly that water turns into some kind of ambrosia once you take that first sip. It feels so good. Just imagine, you’ve had a P.E class or some other kind of sweat inducing activity and your body is begging for water, coke, redbull, vodka, nothing works. Its pure unmixed water your body craves, then finally you get a sachet, or a bottle, or you reach the tap (however you get your water is up to you) and you drink. Dermit!! It feels so amazing. And guess what, that feeling costs nothing.

3) Tiny breezes: have you ever been so hot, that your sweat became some kind of glue that made you closer to your clothes than a blogger and social networks? Yeah, that kind of sweaty and you are in a room, or somewhere the winds is refusing to blow, then finally, out of nowhere a tiny breeze finds its way to you, it tickles the back of your neck or somewhere you never knew you had, yet it’s a tease, it doesn’t fully satisfy but it keeps you in place, it gives you hope that another may come along and even if it takes centuries, you wait. You may try fanning yourself with something else (an exercise book, a hand fan, your clothes, bae’s breath, anything that can produce moving air) but it cannot compare to that sweet sweet, tease of a breeze.

4) Hearing a song on the radio: you may have it on your devices or whatever and you can listen to it any time you want but nothing beats hearing a song on the radio. It stops you in your tracks, you just have to listen, raise your hands and do the dance from the music video, then remember where you are, look around to see if anyone saw you and just walk away like nothing happened.

5) The feeling you get when you see your crush: oh yeah, It’s not a nice feeling yet it’s nice. The anxiety, the hope, the what if. You may not like it then but trust me, once you stop feeling that you miss it.

And here we have the best things, I may have missed some, you cant blame me, I’m just imagining all these feelings and it’s a sensory overload. If you do remember some, drop them in the comment section and let me know.
