5 THINGS I WOULD BRING TO A DESERTED ISLAND

 



My dream come true.  Time alone. To live in peace, to read a book without interruption, to enjoy a snack out of hiding. So I would be lying if I said there weren’t times I just got lost.

Maybe on the way home. Maybe in a store. And sometimes – sometimes, I’d like to get lost on a deserted island far, far away from the hustle, bustle, and most people's demands of every day life.




Of course, I love the life I live. Don’t get me wrong. But it can be, well, overwhelming at times.  I'm needed all the time.  There are no breaks, especially as a freelancer. So to say I need a break is an understatement.

So follow me on this dream for a moment, would you?

If I could take a little vacation to a deserted island where NO ONE could bother me and there were no to-do lists, I’d pack a few necessities. Since I’m just going to assume there are no demands, no requirements of me to figure out how to stay alive (because, let’s face it, that’s another responsibility and we’re avoiding those right now), and no to-do lists, we’re going to be completely vain with this dream.

#1 – It’s essential for me to relax, so I’d need my favorite pillow and blanket.  I mean, what’s a good, uninterrupted nap or read if not for a comfortable, satisfying place to lay my head?



#2 – I’d want to enjoy my favorite snack food. No requirements for health or sustainability, so I’d bring my absolute favorite: Chicken wings. This stuff is Yummy. Amazing. Crazy good. I literally take my fufu and rice with chicken wings. I eat pieces of this stuff like it’s necessary for my survival. And I would not be happy without it’s existence on my deserted island.



#3 – My Phone, and not for the phone calls or texts or news apps.  Simply for the games, books and music! It’s relaxation time, folks. And reading and catching up on mundane things is the name of the game. Plus, this covers the camera need, too. And I know this is supposed to be my alone time, but I might be guilty of placing at least one FaceTime call to let my friends and family know I'm safe. Don’t judge, you know you would, too!



#4 – My journal.  I love to write and record my thoughts and feelings. Sure, I guess I could do that on my phone, but I’m a good old fashioned pencil (or awesome set of pens) girl, and I love writing things down on a crisp, clean piece of paper.




#5 – This last one is a toss up, because I’m supposed to be enjoying my alone time, but I love spending time with animals, so I might have to steal my neighbour's puppy along. Besides, animals are known stress-reducers! Or maybe I should have my one friend come along. We never get any time together, after all.  Hmm …

What about you? What would you take on your little getaway? Make it count, people!

TOP 5 ADVICES I HAVE EVER BEEN GIVEN. (THE BEST)

Image
  Advices are one of my tools for motivation. Whenever someone spends his or her precious time to advice me, I do my best to listen because giving an advice isn't easy. All my life, I have received tons of advices that I can't remember and so the ones I'm sharing are the ones I remember and somehow held on to. Without further ado, here are my top 5 advices I have ever been given. 5. Opportunities abound everywhere, You only need to see them. - Tough Call Tough Call is a novel which was given to us in high School. My school has this extracurricular program called Functional literature. All students are given a novel to read and later get tested to prove whether the book was read or not. In summary and if my memory serves me right, the book was about how a young girl worked hard to be successful despite her enormous challenges. I got this advice from the book and I held on to it since then. For real, there are a lot of opportunities around us and until we open our eyes

A DAY I WILL NEVER FORGET

Image
 There has been a lot of defining moments in my life. To be brutally honest, a lot of those moments I would have rather not happened. But they have played a huge part in who I am today, and I strongly believe that despite how hard they may have been, everything does happen for a reason. I've been through some shit. 99% of that shit I do not and will not ever (well, we'll see) post online, as it is private and too difficult to share so openly. I felt like this about what I am going to talk about today for a good portion of time. 2 years ago on August 16, I was denied of entering a university I have applied for. I feel shaky and tingly and sad writing that. I can talk pretty candidly about a lot of hard things in my life, to my friends or family. However, whenever I try to talk about this, or write about it in this case, I get choked up. It's strange. I only really realise how much that day actually affected me when I think about it for long enough. I guess that is beca
