HOLDING A PROMISE

As it's in stark contrast to my last post, I thought I'd warn you that this one will be a rant. Okay, here goes. I am over it. And by 'it', I clearly mean flakey people. The ones who can't commit. The ones who commit then bail last minute. The ones who can't even be bothered thinking up a good excuse. I am over them all. While actions speak louder than words, inaction is deafening. People make certain accommodations if you say that you are going to do something. Though when you coward away from a promise, it doesn't just inconvenience them. Ultimately, it's your reliability, trustworthiness and honesty that comes under question. Don't want that to happen? Simple. Do what you promise. End of.

BLOODY VALENTINE

Love. It seems like a fitting topic given Valentine's Day has just been. We all experience it, albeit in different ways. Love can manifest itself in a variety of circumstances, often with unexpected people.  While it's nice to be loved, there's something far more precious, at least for me. I live for loving. To have another allow you to love them - for them to be vulnerable enough to accept your adoration and encouragement - that's what's truly special about love. So while others may wish away "bloody Valentine's" for it reminds them of a romantic love they are missing; I look forward to the gentle reminder on February the 14th to express my appreciation for the family and friends whom I cherish.

ELEGANTLY DISHEVELED

Elegantly disheveled. Or perhaps just disheveled. Whichever way you see it, mess and general unkemptness are a necessary evil. Nobody has the time, or the organisational skills, to iron every outfit. Nor to find the perfect statement accessories that are lost deep in the back of the closet. The thought of putting on makeup somedays is exhausting enough as it is - and that's before you remember that you have to clean your makeup brushes. Then there's hair that hasn't seen a brush in weeks. In fact, do I even own a hair brush? Well, those kind of days happen all too often. And while most bloggers won't show you a photo of them that is anything less than perfect, I'm not most bloggers - I have no shame.

OLIVE BRANCH

I avoid trends. Maybe it's my inherent need to be constantly validated as a 'unique individual' (as though such a thing exists). Or perhaps my twisted pleasure I get from being isolated in a crowd. Either way, when it comes to the very popular crop top and midi skirt combination, I appear to have crumbled. So I'm extending the olive branch to trends just this once. After all, every rule needs an exception.
