First two days of spring break:

Recently I've been absolutely hooked on instagram and I sadly became one of those people who can't help but post at least one picture every day. Overtime, my photos began to have a theme, that is 'the highlight of my day.' Of course, sometimes I just have one of those days that are mundane and an exact replica of the previous, in which case, I do not post anything. Anyway, I decided to give myself a 10 day challenge during my spring break and post things which are the highlight of my day. It's kind of almost an instaglog or blogram of sorts (yes that's me trying to awkwardly mash instagram and blog into one sentence). So these are some whaddups of the first two days of my spring break. In instagram format.

Day 1 - A very healthy morning. Decided to gym early and then hit the pool afterwards. Jacuzzi time was awesome.

[For fun] Playlist: About A Girl

So sometimes I like to do these kind of things. Bear with me.

When they say a picture is worth a thousand words, they have a point. Paintings and images can tell a story through the emotion they wordlessly express and the colors they bathe in. Art resonates differently with every individual.  

The artwork above, to me, brings out the colors of emotions. Although the expression pictured is one of melancholy, the rainbow of colors gives off so many more than just sadness. I see beauty, love, tragedy, remembrance, patience, heartbreak, hope and plain romance all tied with with the evident melancholy. And when I feel, I think of songs. Hence, I decided to come up with a tiny playlist of songs that I think resonates most with the artwork above.

Beauty, love, passion, tragedy and heartbreak will always intertwine somehow. Also as women, we are never completely free of emotions in every aspect of life we come across. Something wonderful can turn into a tragedy but there will be a day when everything will feel wonderful once more. One should not lose hope.
