Lockdown Pondering:Losing yourself in the midst of the unknown

In the past 3 weeks of returning home from a very abrupt ending of my second semester at university – I have realised how much the existence of a routine affects my perspective on life, my motivation, and my self-esteem.

“Nothing is more beautiful than what disappears”- Radiance 2017 Fortunately the beauty of this movie lasts a lifetime.

This film review is well overdue as since encountering Radiance early this year I have watched it over 5 times including the times that I have just listened to the audio as I fell asleep.

A Nameless Love by LaFortune #japan #film #poetry

Inspired by the animated movie: Your name. Love: If only I was brave enough to whisper it to the air. To let the vibrations of the atoms send joyful signals to his ears. But that would only awaken my fears. I’m a coward. I’m scared of exposing my feelings for him.

Paramore –Misery Business Seventeen –Healing Louane – Je vole Adele – When we were young Bruno Mars – Gorilla Whitney Houston – The greatest love of all Twenty one pilots – Kitchen sink Paramore – Brick by Boring brick   LaFortune

I absolutely love the prints used to create a luxurious casual look with a mix of textures such as lace in some looks which fascinates me the most.
