Mexican Cherry

As children, we live the dream of others, all expectations fall on to us, seeming the ones that will be different and most likely successful. Family, mostly our parents, elaborate our identities since we are toddlers. From dolls, cars, surgery games, cooking utensils for children, soccer, ballet, learning languages...etc, it is an infinite list of the efforts to show us the different opportunities life offers in another stage.

• Reach a healthier body shape 
• Read all wanted books I already own 
• Have breakfast everyday 
• Clear my skin as it was before indulging without any measure in sweets and junk food
• Mantain a clean and organized bedroom 

- Green wall of nature my house is lucky to have

- Binge of emotion, stress and overwhelming coped with chocolate bunnies

- Next to my desk, there are pictures that change frequently, still love some pink dramatic flowers

- Waiting for the ''bus'', running late to uni

Currently, life is a mix of emotions. 

Hey, it is Mexican Cherry ~ Alive and already inspired to keep slaying...

Tiny update on how things are rolling these days and also an explanation for the lack of content a.k.a The Drought. 


Gonna keep this simple, really. My hardest, longest, complicated and terrifying exam already occurred and still waiting for results, gonna get em on December 6. Wish me luck! Hopefully I passed with a nice score (really praying for that).

Love has been floating in my air! Sincerely, between the exam, the study sessions that bae cheered and lightened for me and plenty coffees and dates, my schedule became a blob that focused solely on that. LOVED IT!

Creatively, must say inspiration knocked on my door again, feeling like creating what I truly want and how I want it. Today was the last day to work for school or projects and from now on the theme has been scheduled.

- Gotta workout a looooooooooooooooooooot since my lack of discipline kinda ruined the plan of being hot as on prom, now I gotta look decent and healthy enough.
- Read all I wanted but couldn't
-Paint! Love my watercolours and miss them so much
- Regain my guitar skills
- Boost this lovely blog and give it a deserved makeover.


A plus of it is that I will be introducing way more personal content, but this time a visual one. 

Still loving two bloggers/vloggers/queenswhoslay, and both are Rachel's except for their lastname...will discuss that later I promise.


So, love...burnout, creativity and fitness. That clearly visualizes december's take of events and the upcomming surprises, btw bae if you're reading this I love you so much, you are my rock S2 



- Until another encounter-


Yours truly,

Life presents us a  range of choices to be made daily, from the most mundane such as chosing what to have for breakfast or our outfits, to the ones that will change our lifes forever. To me, one choice of life are friends.

Art by Allison Harvard - Sadly I don't recall the title...

We definitely chose people to participate and share our life together, and in this process there were times some people told me to leave behind my honest feelings, opinions and more importantly, to just adapt and be with others because in the future I might need their connections.

So, are friendships supposed to be smart or honest? 

I understand that the relationship we have with others can save us from difficult times, but to me there is absolutely no way I will ever "have a friend" just because of benefits. I have lived with a principle of honesty, with a note of purity within; I won't let anyone change me or tell me how to be, nor I will change others or tell them how to be either.

How I am is literally how I am - Sorry if this sounds a bit confusing, but it is the only way I have ever lived until this day, and I must say it has cost me some events maybe, night outs, parties and awful team projects, but in the end I know that the friends I have, even if I can count them perhaps with one hand, are the best ever and our friendship is as pure as the purest thing you can think of.

Wether I will need connections or others favours is unknown...but I have witnessed how mean people have taken advantage of those with clean intentions, just because of convenience, and also experienced the effect by myself.  I thought a girl was kind and sweet once, leaving behind my first impression of her, thinking to myself I was awful for judging way too quick. Short story, that girl was not sweet at all, she was a mean girl, one that would talk crappy things behind your back but would talk to you very nicely if she needed anything.

Experiences like those made me realize that if I ever encountered another mean girl or well another mean person, there wouldn't be a chance of them hurting me. Since then there was no question anymore of how to conduct my relationships in the future.

Proud that nothing changed me or my principles, it is true sometimes it affects me that others have like 10 close friends and can go out as a group, or maybe even the fact that in my own prom, this would be evident, that my friendships are not plenty, but one thing I know for sure is that there is no regret! I rather have 2 other close friends that encourage me to do my best and tell me things straightforward than having 20 that talk nasty about me behind my back or that just talk to me because they need something.

Mexican Cherry encourages you to stay true and to not let anyone change you! Keep the positive vibes floating `~

As the huge as exam approaches, my mental condition sharpens and there are things to be done in order to get the satisfaction of nailing that test and having a successful outcome. Sadly, some of us don't always wake up in the working mood or even in the wanting to do anything mood... 

When I look back at my old habits, there was always this winning attitude towards work and studies, but as my emotional breakdown hit it's peak, all my empowering self started to fade. Yes, it helped me take a more objective perception of achievement and not having this deception everytime there was a "failure" situation, but it also got me quite relaxed in a bad way: Over procrastination, unpunctual everytime, no discipline whatsoever.

Then I stumbled on a picture saved in the old files of the imagery folder and it hit me, wow! I was really really going through a great path in organization and more important, discipline.

This time there is no excuse

So, following the Productivity Series and the now initiated Worktober, here are 5 ways that the common and messy girl can easily follow for a boost of inspiration and productivity.

1.  WATCH INSPIRATIONAL MATERIAL 
2. USE TIME BLOCKS 
3. WORK IN YOUR OWN TIME 
4. GET SMALL AND LESS STRESSFUL TASKS DONE FIRST 
5. USE MUSIC WISELY (OR SOUNDS)

• Play french music - I do speak some french but not enough to distract me and I barely know french songs, just have a few favorites from a spotify playlist, that is called French Women actually. Anyway the tip is play songs you don't know or in a language you barely understand (tricky, but chose the genre that you know less also because I don't know korean and still get distracted from k-pop). 

Lately life has been a rollercoaster.


And realizations came, telling me there are a lot of minds wanting me to go some way, but in the middle of satisfying everyone's needs or expectations, I lost it. Had a breakdown a couple of weeks ago and from there I could tell that every action was directed towards others and not to my own achievements. Doing stuff and not getting credit gets harder when you apply knowledge to it, when you have lived that way always and then your brain tells you: Hey! Shouldn't we get credit for things we do? Well yeah!!

After that spiraling madness of life in September my Elle Woods slash Andy from Devil Wears Prada motivation hit me hard. It sums up into these big mistakes of mine:

• First, follow the nutrition plan I have and stop indulging just because.
• STUDY: Even reading a chapter or concepts everyday will help. 
• Wake up EARLY for once and everyday ~Always, because no, I don't need the extra 20 minutes of sleep, I need to get ready and make it early to work, noup...make it early to EVERYWHERE!  This needs to become a habit again. 
• Use all the knowledge on productivity acquired from other talented and productive individuals. 
• Stay true to myself.  Live for myself.  

I deserve the best and no in betweens, either yes or no

Will you be my valentine?

• Autumn book with cozy blanket and leafs by leave-me-colourless, you can find it HERE.
• New York man walking through a gorgeous smoky street by Autumncozy.
• Girl with CHANEL & Taeyeon edit ... to be honest I lost the actual link of those but if you happen to know who to credit please let me know!  

Why wasn't she happy that I finally was? 

For all the cherries going through a situation like this 

• It all goes better, if your friend leaves, remember it is not your fault, we change all the time and it is most likely that you both do not need each others energies at the moment and to experience a different light is always part of life.

• Remember all the good times and learn through this.

• Cry all you want & need, even if you weren't truly friends, a partner always touches the heart.

• Enjoy yourself: It is time to discover what you are in the most RAW state, explore all of your senses,time to reset and find
