It's been awhile since I've visited my blog and let alone, long enough since I've written on this thing! A lot has happened in my life in the past year and a half - graduation, first year of university, a lot of working as of late, on top of figuring out this whole life thing. I've been learning a lot about myself and where I want to get to, in the process.

As someone who needs to live and breathe creativity in all aspects of life, the idea of pumping out constant blog entries for the sake of posting scares me. Really, really scares me. Which is probably one of the main reasons I began slowing down on here. I ventured to pour my creativity into different forms and figures such as launching PURE INTENTION, a creative based online collective of vintage fashion, visuals and words. While being away from the blog, I also began to make a conscious effort to truly build genuine relationships with the people around me and just experience my life as it was.

In all honesty, though it might have not seemed like it, I constantly thought about reviving and writing on this blog again. Each time I tried previously, it just didn't feel like the right time to do so. I also didn't want to jump into it half-heartedly -- this blog is my baby! Fast forward to today, I know I'm ready to give it another go and have it be even better than the last time around.

Though everything that has happened in a year's time is beyond too much for me to explain or even tell, hopefully with time I can share bits and pieces of what I've learned, been able to experience and who I'm becoming.

STAY TUNED! I LOVE YOU!

Anyhow, enjoy. I love these a lot.

My entire summer called for a lot of unstructured plans and just straight chilling. Yet when I say "unstructured", I found that I still I had people to see and plans to meet for the entire duration of two months. With every ounce of satisfaction in me, I can say I've had one of the most fulfilling summers of my life.. and I truly do mean it. Of course, I do wish I could've traveled a little longer or hung out a little more with certain people in certain places, but it all seemed to be enough for me. I found time to write the most I've written in awhile and produce quality pieces that I'm the most proud of. I got to tour through some beautiful cities and see a bunch of unfamiliar, smiling faces. My hair turned pink. My hair was lilac. It was blue and it turned silver. I was up till my eyes burned. I spent a fair amount of one-on-one time with nature and more importantly, spent time with the ones I love; the ones who love me just as much.

And through all of this, I found inspiration - inspiration to write, to strengthen my relationships and overall, to maintain all the happiness and the be the very best version of me possible. I'd like to think that I've taken along a little piece of everyone I've met and a little part of everywhere I've visited. It's all a big experience. I find myself saying this every year, but I can't seem to wrap my head around it this time around. I find that school year goes by in the blink of an eye and summer passes even faster - yet, even though we struggle a little more each year, the experience keeps getting better and better.

Take a look through my eyes.

I'm not quite sure if there's anything more clarifying for the mind than being out in the open wilderness. I shut my wifi off and only took my phone out to snap a couple pics - and it felt good, you know? In a sense, to me, nature is synonymous with spirituality and proposes this positive outlook that isn't hard to miss.

I probably drank more coffee than I should have. I love coffee, but I try not to drink it. All it does is keep me up at night and give me heart palpitations. I also took time to write in an uncoerced kind of nature/setup.

Enjoy these pictures. I hope it gives you a glimpse into feeling what I felt.

Here's me being super shameless about my 5 year imaginary relationship with One Direction. I can't believe I waited that long to finally see them live.. and yeah, it happened. Three days prior, my favourite member dropped the bomb that he was going to be a dad. Alright, alright. Let's be honest here - that didn't quite excite me. Instead it made me want to eat a tub of Ben & Jerry's and think of what it was like to be a 1D fan in 2011 again (anyone remember those days?). I went into the show feeling completely miserable and down about a couple things floating around my head... but left feeling rather content. Initially, when Zayn has announced his departure from the group, I was ready to sell my tickets. It wouldn't be the same (and it wasn't). 

This wasn't exactly what I pictured my first One Direction concert to be like - in fact, not One Direction in it's entirety, but rather Harry/Niall/Louis/Liam; but it was still something.

I'M BACK, Y'ALL. Feelin' so new and refreshed almost post exams.

ANYHOW, here's a little photo recap of what I've been up to the past month:

After eating out of fast food joints for a few consecutive days straight, you'd realize that it gets super tiring and you can feel the effect on your body big time. Visiting Cafe Gratitude, a cute little organic vegan restaurant, felt the closest to home and sparked comfort in me. Choosing to eat healthy puts me at ease because I know that what I choose to eat will reward my body in the future. (This all stems from watching too many Ted Talks and nutrition documentaries before bed.)
