Amassing Wealth
I believe having a hundred million dollars (an excess) wouldn't bring me any long term satisfaction. ... but how would I know without actually having it? Wouldn't I still have dark moods and relationship/family problems?
Wouldn't I still paint daily to bring inner satisfaction? Maybe I'd buy more expensive paint... or paint in different countries
From my observations of past behaviors, a higher paycheck means buying more expensive homes, bags, shoes etc and/or a greater quantity .... but that in itself doesn't cure inner turmoil of the mind.....
I look forward to making an excess to give to causes I believe in. ... such as animal rescue and habitat conservation. To be real, I don't know what I'd become if money was my slave.... but I do know what I'd want money/energy/resources to do
When I look at the big picture and see so many people striving for "the lifestyle" only to see that it doesn't fix what's inside. .. it isn't fulfilling in itself. .. yes achieving feels great. Growing up I was told to ascend the whole ladder of success. .. and in some ways I'm still striving for that. However, at my core...I believe we can all strive to live a little simpler and more harmoniously on this soil..... in whatever way you feel compelled to. ... So far ... from observations. ...that has been a more fulfilling lifestyle
I'm glad this is out of my mind
Makeup Lust
OCC vain lip tar. ... love this blue and all the fun I could have with it. ... mixing it with reds and pinks especially
After becoming obsessed with my Shea moisture noemi eyeshadow I'm also on the lookout for another deep matte eyeshadow shade... deep damson, Indian ink, graphology and even plummage come close to what I'm looking for
Gainful Reading
I started reading in my pastime as a young only child..... when my dolls and solo games became tiring. ... or understimulating. Most of the morals that became injected into me were learned from books
I've been on the lookout for a book I read about crocodiles/alligators where one ate the other one? And they were brothers. ...I remember thinking ... how cruel. .. That was probably my first glimpse into the evil nature in humans. ...I wish I could find that book now
My more grown up books consist of revolutions and explorations of the soul and mind
Rise & Shine x Water You Waiting For
Sometimes I like to tell myself things and run with it. .. today it's that I'm a mermaid.. and these nails fit my mood
Loving sinful colors rise & shine and China glaze water you waiting for
The blue glitter looks magical over the green base
