Sketchy decisions

Today I endeavored to draw again, which was lovely. I had a choice whether to do nothing or draw and I opted for the creative.

Luckily, the subject of my picture is someone who I have a great deal of affection for so it's much easier for me to capture the likeness.

This weekend I have felt abnormally sleepy. I really crashed in a huge way. Maybe it's a good thing. I was rather stressed the whole of last week because I made a big decision during the first half of the week and I was coming to terms with it.

And te decision I made was....*drumroll* to go to Korea!

'oh yeah sure' you all say, 'she is saying she is going to Korea - again.'

But this time is different you see, oh doubting ones. This time I WILL be going and in March no less. So yeah. Going a bit insane tbh.

My tummy keeps moving.

Gonna contInue drawing now.

Latersss my lOvelies!!!

Tangled Web of Discouragement

Look at that!

It is 1:55am and I am still awake.

Weeeeellll, it IS the weekend. I will go to bed as soon as I have written this post, because I'm am suddenly overwhelmed by sleepiness.

This past week has been completely insane. I have learned a few things, or rather, my eyes have been opened.

Firstly, I've discovered how disgustingly selfish indecisiveness can be.

Secondly, I've discovered that I am incredibly fickle.

These realisations brought me to the conclusions that -

1. I will train myself to be more decisive
2. It must be possible to love more than one person and it's possibly the only thing I can't make a solid decision about.

My two conclusions nullify one another.

Honestly, when do I get to win?

Do you mind if I go to sleep now. My body is transforming into zombie mode.

I still love life though. I just think that God still has a lot of work to do when it comes to me because no matter what I do, I still feel like I'm shackled to my insecurities. It doesn't help that the people I HAVE to respect seem to be pouring fuel onto my insecurities because that way I will never be able to move on.

Am I actually paranoid? I don't think so. I pray that I never make anyone feel inadequate and unable to help themselves.

Good Night

Gotta Make Something Happen, Can't Just Sit Around and Wait for It ~

This country is so cold when winter time comes. I swear the for rest of my existence I will complain about it in this love/hate way.

Actually, I'm more of a summer person. My best friend likes the cold, but I prefer the sweet smelling summer evenings and only having to wear one layer of clothing. I would thrive in a warm climate. Even better near a place by the sea.

One of my Christmas presents was a really gorgeous writing pad, which has become my new diary. I have been horribly neglectful of my writing since I moved away from home and this new year I want to amend that. So far so good. I've written in it almost every day, though my thoughts always seem to drift towards the bashing of everything that I find distasteful in life rather than what I love about it.

To be quite honest, I have become more cautious of what I write. Some things I'd rather just keep safely within my heart and head. It's because they are like my very own treasures - I guess everyone has something like that.

I started watching 'The Princess' Man' Korean drama again today after putting it on hold for a few months. It's just such a great drama and I highly recommend it. If you're a girl reading this - you will not be disappointed , the eye candy is perfection.

...just to make clear though, my admiration for this drama is not entirely shallow. It's incredibly gripping and heart wrenching, the storyline isn't slow and the characters are very relate-able.

So how is that for selling entertainment?  

I'm seriously considering re-filling my hot water bottle. It's at that point where it's lost its warming edge and my feet are starting to go numb again.

Yep, I'm gonna go do that.

Where does the Heart of things Hide?

I want to do something different with my blog this year. Freshen it up a bit.

I don't mean the image either, I mean the content.

I can feel my writing getting stale. I despise how life can get so busy that the creative things get left behind. In fact, I wish I could just pack up a camper van and drive off and never return.

Yeah, I'm sure the mundane things all add to the bigger picture, but I refuse to sacrifice my existence to them.

I'm getting quite angry about this crap!

Anyway....

to the blogging and all that.


My favourite film is about a girl who takes advantage of the kindness of a boy, the result of which is complete hilarity. Actually, that’s just the surface of the story. The truth is, that the boy sees that the girl is completely broken and he shows support and kindness to her even when it seems like she doesn’t appreciate it at all.

There are always (at least) two sides to a story.  The reason why I like this film a lot is because for the first half it seems such a light hearted tale of quirky times between a boy and a girl. Then the second half shows how it’s actually a beautiful love story.

I guess this is just a storyfied version of every person. Everyone has a mirror image of themselves which they hide from the spotlight - The real true story of themselves that will only be revealed to people who are willing to wait and see.

Within every normal everyday person is a beautiful story waiting to be discovered. Just have patience and it will appear.

- And there you have it!

My headful of stuff for the day. How I miss my ranting ground!

Love n hugs,

Minnie

P.S. The movie is called 'My Sassy Girl'. If you wanna watch it make sure it's the gorgeous Korean version and not the heinous American remake.
