Monthly | It's June ! + ramblin'

Hi there !

I know I have been extremely MIA, but even telling you why would be super boring 'cause I just have been working my way through revision and finals actually. So let's just not !

MOODBOARD | This months moodboard clearly reflects my hunch for summer and freedom after I finish these feakin' finals.

QUOTE | As for the quote, there is a whole ramble of explanation WARNING RAMBLING INCOMING : I am a hell of a thinker, I think a lot and probably way too much. But sometimes all that thinking eventually amounts to somewhat of a philosophical epiphany (yes, I take myself very seriously haha, jokes !). But these last few months a new motivation/motto/mantra has been rolling around in my little head : you only live once. And I know that the whole YOLO trend completely ruined the meaning of that sentence, I’m well aware of that. But nonetheless, it is true. You get only one shot at life, so you better make that shot worthwhile. 

In past years I have been super super scared of everything around me that was unknown to me, but it dawned on me recently that all the good things in my life (this blog, my friends and even my boyfriend) are here because I was brave enough to conquer the fear or didn’t even think about what the negative outcome could have been.

Life is far too short to worry or be unhappy. Somehow I just realized how important it is not to waste the time you have. I have seen people passing way too soon and it kills me thinking of all the time they still could have had.

As a child these things aren’t yours to realize, but I’ve come to an age where everything is still possible, all the possibilities are completely open and mine to choose from. 

And I am a worrier and far too often I have been moody or sad or whatever. But it is kind of time to change that up, to live life the good way. So I am adding a resolution to my list or actually I already talked about one part at the beginning of may : following my gut. And this time I’m not saying that ‘I’m going to try something’, I am going to do it, to live it. I am going to get the most out of every single day and I am going to challenge myself to do all those things I am too scared to do but secretly kind of want to do.

Well, that was enough ramblin' for one post, Imma leave it at that ! 

Love,

K.

Monthly | It's May !

So here I am again with yet another moodboard and quote ! :)

A little explanation as regards the quote : I have always been jealous of people who are self confident. I have always been a doubter and a very insecure person, other people always seem to do everything way better than me (at least in my eyes). I envy people who trust their gut and follow their intuition without any doubt before or regret afterwards. There hides a lot of fear in me, fear of the unknown, fear of not doing it right, fear of judgements, fear of a lot of things, but along the way I learned to let go of a lot of those. I am trying to be more self confident and trust my gut for the full 100%, but there's still a long way to go ... However, in recent events I have noticed quite clearly that whenever I start to think too much, I kind of make the wrong decision, or more something like, my spontaneous decisions are most of the time the best ones and those are the ones coming from my gut. A good example of a gut decision was the evening when I send my boyfriend the very first text ever between us, I stepped out of my comfort zone big time by making a decision as spontaneous and gut oriented and I can tell you, it was the best decision I have ever made ;)

To gut feelings/decisions ! 

Love,

Monthly | It's March

 

Here are the moodboard and quote for March !

I chose this quote because it seemed to inspire me. I am not the most confident of people and always seem to think that this or that could use some improvement in my life. Lately I've been thinking "Hey, why not just improve what needs to be. It's never too late to change something." So that's what I've been trying to do. 

Unfortunately I did catch a terrible cold, so not much interesting going on here, just me sipping tea, taking meds and hoping this cold will pass soon. Oh well ...

Love,

Kelly

Lifestyle | It's Januari

In 2014 I will continue doing these 'It's ...' posts, sharing some monthly inspiration for the coming month.

Here you go, the moodboard for January 2014 !

The quote for this month is one to inspire me to accomplish one of my new year's resolutions. I set myself the resolution/challenge to try and see the positive in every situation instead of the negative, to enjoy every moment even though it isn't 'perfect'. This is what this month's quote is about. Our lives may not always be as we expected it to be, but we don't always have the power to change these things, so we'd better deal with it and enjoy the good things that go along with it. Who knows, you might be surprised where the rest of this path leads to ;) (I know I have already been pleasantly surprised by faith a good number of times !)

Have a good January !

Love,

Kelly
