its funny how a filter just gives you that aesthetically pleasing make-you-feel-good mood. some may say "oh how cute i bet she got her life all together then"

no. as a lot of influencers exhaustively explain that what you see in the grid, stays on the grid. its a mere idea, a concept but not a reality.

it looks good because it's brighter and sharper than the original photo.

im not saying its fake or its for the likes but its good to understand that the grid is not meant to be idolize or to make you feel bad.

bun up.

self care sunday.

I've been committing to it for almost a year now and it works wonders. Self care doesn't have to be indulging in impulse purchases.

My sundays are mostly spent forgetting my responsibilities since I'm a 20 something adult who needs to plan for the future and also, I intentionally ignore messages. Yes, I mainly just disappear from people.

When I was still a student, there were a lot of times I forget to nourish myself. Sundays are good at reminding me to t a k e c a r e of myself. Had hotpot, btw!

I have a fear of going to the gym but after finally saying, "fuck it", it changed a lot of how I am feeling towards working out. Two months of gyming, here I am, a shameless mirrorfie. Also, I like being physically strong.

Having the time to pause and appreciate my surroundings was so hard since my life is just so busy!! Now that I have the time in the world, it's peaceful to have these pauses every now and then.
