it's okay not to be okay

genuine warning: this particular blog isn't your regular tongue-in-cheek saturday lol-fest that you've come to expect. things have happened over the past few days (/months) which have instilled me with a sense of pride and confidence and, because of that, today's post won't riddled with rude words and irreverent comedy. instead, it's an all too realistic look back at why this blog is the way it is. it's what i've wanted to say for so long but haven't had the courage to. it's the honest truth.

free yourself, don't let nobody take control

SO TRUE BABE

i'm not on top of the world today but that's okay. you can't expect to be sky high forever - learn to take the rough with the smooth and things will feel a lot more evened out and realistic. i've been overthinking just about every aspect of my life recently (srsly?) and i saw a quote yesterday which made me think even more. i hide people on my facebook who abuse these "inspirational" quotes every day but i've comes to terms with admitting that some of them are genuinely thought provoking.

we are beautiful no matter what they say

can i not?

today my eyebrow exploded. let me explain. i got it pierced a few weeks ago and, whilst it was steadily healing with very few problems. it turns out that daily headbutts don't do it any favours. and children's dirty hands aren't good on open wounds too. who knew? highlighting my battered eye but ignoring my woe, it got me thinking about aesthetics.
