Something Different, Something New

I never made a mid-year resolution before but with my 35th birthday fast approaching, I find myself with a desire to do something fun, creative, adventurous - anything that would shake me out of my rut and comfort zone and give life a great big hug. So my mid-year solve and gift to myself is to do something different every week - from small things like making myself a fab fresh salad for lunch or changing my hairstyle (both I have done this week!) to exploring a new country. Life is too short to worry about 'will I look good with a fringe?', 'will green look good on me?', 'should I wear gold eyeshadow?' Who cares? Just fucking do it and have fun at it!


Of course, the best birthday gift would be to finally purchase my own home but COV prices are sky high and L's plans are still in limbo, so we'd take a chill pill and see what unfolds at the end of the year. For now, L and I are appreciating whatever time we have together and making the best of it.

Last night on his day off, he made me truffle pasta with freshly shaved black truffles and trickled with more truffle oil - buonissimo e pieno d'amore! Funnily he made himself fried bah-choy vegetables, ate it with chopsticks, followed by a box of smelly durians. We're such opposites.

I couldn't decide if I should celebrate my birthday - half of me wants to throw the party of the year yet the other half just wants to crawl into a hole and let the day pass. Maybe I'll toss a coin by the end of the week or do something different - just as I had decided :)
