I Am a Woman

January's going to be short this year, because I'm pretty busy. First, I did a big cleanup of my room, which might not sound like a big deal to you, but to me it is. Then, I went to a cottage for a week with some friends. Now, I'm back home planning the last week of vacation I have. Basically, I had hardly any time to think about what this month's exploration would be.

After talking to my friend Léonie about a project we're thinking about, I decided this month would be dedicated to womanhood. Not just my idea of womanhood, but womanhood across the world. I want to know what it means to be a female. I want to know what womanliness means. I want to know where I stand in this world and where I want to go.

Beauty

Happy November! It's already day six and I didn't even notice. A thing I did notice though is the time change. (Gotta love them time changes!) I haven't been sleeping enough and I've been hoping this would help because every time I tried writing a post in the last few days, I just fell asleep. Nevertheless, here I am, kind of awake, to announce this month's theme. If you're a little shrewd you have guessed it already. Yes, this month, I will be exploring Beauty.

Aaah, what a bizarre thing that is beauty. It always bewildered me. Is beauty something innate or is it something we have learned from society? Is it possible to perceive beauty without anyone telling you what it is? I will think about it this month and try to answer these questions the best I can. There will also be a video coming out for my birthday and many pictures of outfits.

Speaking of clothing, I have challenged myself to wear every item in my wardrobe to create a different outfit everyday until I run out of stuff. I will share pictures once a week. I worn you though, it might not always be mind-blowingly beautiful. Wait! You chose if it's beautiful! Because no one should have a say in it.

Hope no one has gotten the winter blues yet. If so, listen to these wonderful songs to cheer up!

I Go Solo

It might seem kind of ironic to begin a blog by exploring the idea of endings, but truthfully, it makes lots of sense. Here me out and you might understand.

In the last few months, many things have happened. I finished High School. I realized I will no longer be a legal child anymore soon (I say "legal" here because I will always be young at heart). I just came out of a rough patch in my life. And if all of that isn't enough, I just went through a breakup. I mean, if those are not endings for you, I don't know what is.

Anyways, as all of these endings occurred and that I was feeling a certain despair about them, I realized that closure leads to new beginnings. And that folks, is exactly where I am in my life right now. I am start things new and I thought it was the perfect opportunity to learn as much as possible about myself and the things around me. 

On another note, I still think it's important to have a certain period of mourning. I mean, thank god I'm not in High School anymore! But I also think it's sad that I will never live the Mean Girls experience again. And that I'm only going to have more and more responsibilities-which isn't always bad either. Therefore, I think I will analyze the duality of this theme throughout the month. 

I'd like to start off with a playlist that sets my overall emotional state at the moment.
