Back.

I'm back. For the past few weeks (jokes, months) I've been super busy. Super super 'busy'..

Updates:
-I'm now a single woman.
-Had photo shoots.
-Threw a few more things into my bucket list.
-Completed the makeup & beauty course.

1. Being single.
So, I am enjoying the single life. It's not about hooking up with random cuties on night outs, but it's more about the sense of independence. After being with the ex for three years, I felt like my identity was slowly dissolving into him. I went through many issues and I emotionally relied on him, too much. I was also too young for this kind of love because I'd barely experienced the life as an independent person.

The break up just had to happen for a few core reasons that didn't involve betrayal. The talk consisted of serious discussions and a shower of compliments. "I still think you're great!" Just like that, we listed positive features about each other. We ended on a good note, and we both checked whether we were feeling okay. Giggling from the inside joke that was created during the talk, we said a friendly bye. I bursted into tears for a few minutes by myself once I came back into my room.

Two weeks into the single life, I depend on myself only and I have my own world. This is ridiculously refreshing although a little bit of loneliness kicks in every now and then.

2. Photo shoots.
I'd had a photo shoot with a professional photographer with a few friends for fun.
Then I had another one after being approached by a photographer, seeing my Facebook updates about the previous photo shoot.

Here are some of the shots from the second one.

I had so much fun!

Extra: Here's me being cold, covered in a shit load of coconut oil.

3. Additions to my bucket list. 
I've been spending time with some inspiring people, and also had read lots of articles and blog posts that encouraged me to really get adventurous.

Added plans:
-Europe trip.
-Go on a global vulnteering program within the next two years to a poorer country, possibly Cambodia.

I'm hungry for experiences.

4. Makeup and Beauty course. 
Done and dusted. Looking for a job in the industry but been unable to do so due to my shit resume. Yes, I better fix it up asap rocky (been saying that for 4 weeks now).
