LIFE LATELY

WENT HOME FOR 2 WEEKS

The trip has driven me extra feelings due to the previous circumstances of getting stranded because of covid. Covid found its way into the norm and so, thus, our lives. Had a lovely time with my family and friends. Ate wholesome food, stayed up late catching up, and practised playing billiards.

REVISITED BAKU AFTER 2 YEARS

Delighted to be back there after 2 years. Didn’t expect it was my second and last trip. Everything remained familiar but the people.

CELEBRATED WORK ANNIVERSARY

It was fun hours taking a trip down memory lane. Reminiscing where and when we all started. Grateful for being here.

WATCHED THE WESTLIFE CONCERT

It was an epic night reliving my high school days. The songs resonated as well with the current state of emotions.

REVISITED LOUVRE AFTER 3 YEARS

History always fascinates me more than the future. And tickets are free for nurses.

BID FAREWELL TO A FRIEND

“I’m lost. Please take me with you.”
– my pisces heart to yours

The last 4 months were less heavy. We went out, saw the sunlight, had drinks, and visited places. The coming 3 months will be predictable. Beyond that lies the unknown of change. Change – a big thief of my sovereignty.

July In My Heart

The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you but it is not. It is an essential truth. Only those capable of being alone are capable of loving, sharing, and going into the deepest core of the other person; without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without being addicted to the other.

EXPERIENCE LEVEL: 34

Published on March 8, 2022 by GlamalittleLeave a comment

Howdy! Let us get personal.

I felt sedentary in 2021. Last year was a bit weighty. I wanted healing, newness, change, and growth and nothing worked. We were living in a much strange way of interacting with life. For me, it led to a withdrawal of old, unhealthy habits.

I recently just turned 34. I promised myself for the upcoming days to embrace newness every single day. I will explore a new dimension of my existence within the confines of my boundaries. I know it will be hard to get away from this rigid idea of myself or remain within any walls that exist only in my head. Every day will be an option to live in a way that feels good, to be doing things that align with what I value most.

To anyone reading this: If you long for transformation, start small. Maybe instead of buying your hard-boiled egg, boil your own. If you are just trying to get through today, have a shower and sleep. The world and your issues can wait. Trying something new does not have to be some complicated and stern thing.

To my gallant queens: Happy International Women’s Day! Be the nurturers, the soothers, and the steadier of rocked boats that you are. BUT minimise pleasing and placating the world as if your lives depended on it.

READ WITH ME: 2022 READING LIST

Published on January 14, 2022 by Glamalittle2 Comments

Reading is an incredible tool to help us grow, reframe our thinking by learning new things and sometimes transports us to a whole new world. I started to like reading first a few years back to improve my English writing and grammar. Today, I opted to read more if I want to know about anything that interests me.

This list is not a crazy goal of how many books I can read in a year, but merely the list to follow through.

I hope any of these will spark interest in you.

Happy reading!

THE LAST 30 DAYS IN A PHOTO DUMP

Published on August 9, 2021 by Glamalittle2 Comments

The last 30 days was a pure act of self-care. Went for multiple rounds of decluttering physical things, digital and mental. My main goal for taking a break is to ground me or to calm me for the past 12 months was violent so to speak. And that I am truly grateful for the opportunity to reflect on so many things going on around me and within myself.

I slept for a total of 15 days (I’d like to think), permitted myself to just be lazy, ate whatever I wanted, and binge-watched TED Talks and TV series.

I also reformed old habits that for some reason I have forgotten. One is being selective about what I should spend my time doing or thinking. I have forgotten how cosy it feels to be present and never worry about anything you don’t have control over i.e., the past, the future, and other people’s beliefs, thoughts and feelings. Another habit is being able to shake off any negative vibrations coming along when you have to deal with people and react only if you absolutely need to.

As tomorrow slowly unfolds, I vow to live each day intentionally. To continue to be a wild, cool, and complex person but with less anxiety. LOL.

The major takeaway is the realisation of how important rest truly is.
