HELLO!

I thought after like a hundred years you guys needed to hear some of my word vomit!

EVERYTHING has been annoying me so I have quite a bit to rant about.
I think an upfront apology for bad vibes is in order. Also, take this as a warning, if you are in a totally happy place right now, permission is granted to colour in your rainbows somewhere else.

So I know over this last year my total vision of this blog has pejorated. I am not going to say sorry for this. I am not going to delete any post I did as a beauty or wanna-be fashion blogger. Its part of me. Part of my internet image. I personally just think I have evolved from wanting to share what lipstick I think will make me look like Taylor Swift. I believe that life now has a deeper meaning than just throwing on layers makeup to look like a desired celebrity, whose desirability was in any case constructed by the metaphysical prowess of a 24 page  magazine. I think I should leave my media rant for a separate blog post though. (Watch this space).

The lack of originality of the generation I am trapped in makes me want to drink my liquid eyeliner. Everyone is draping themselves in hijab so that they can be 'religiously' superior to someone. Everyone is posting pictures of seapoint promenade with a caption off brainyquotes.com so that they can be 'socially' superior. Probably my most detested one is the reign of the 'feminist'. I have never seen young girls throw a term like feminism around in conversations as they do have been doing lately. I legitimately have to hold back a liquid substance wanting to converge from my eyes because what does a 16 year old know about not wanting to wear a bra, and how that makes you a feminist. Or the total disregard for any male figure of authority. A term which in the past was a revolutionary concept in eradicating injustices, has just become a fashionable Instagram bio and a reason for girls being single.

It is honestly pathetic. We totally live in the age of Google but our minds are so primitive in that someone who has 2000 followers on Instagram, is deemed 'perf, flame emoji and OMG insta-famous'. I would probably be criticized for saying this as I am an avid instagrammer, but I never want to be caught in the realm of having an aesthetically perfect insta feed. Instagram is an app which holds memories. So that is what I use it for. I get more out of one of my best friends liking my picture, than a random dude, with a basic hairstyle that I don't even know. My point is, take things for there purpose and I am pretty sure you find more pleasure in the process.

Rant aside, I do believe people are set out to do what they think is important to them at a particular time. Even if it means being ultra basic, aka a fashion blogger. ( I kid). But you know what I mean.

If this blog seemed patronizing I am so sorry, but take this advice, re-read this again after the advice was implement as see if you feel the same way; Be effortless in your pursuit of perfection.

K Bye!

P.S Short story coming soon.
