Mexican Cherry : mexicancherry

Lately life has been a rollercoaster.

From an earthquake that left me some post traumatic effect, having to change office due it and college madness that comes from dictators that call themselves teachers~ But what makes things hard everyday is not really an outside influence. I feel like now live is sleeping on a cutesy and spiraling outta control SLUMP!

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:

1.- Ok. I am not eating propperly. Not feeding my body, no no, NOT FUELING it!

2.- Worrying over the biggest test/more important one ever in my college lifetime, but not doing a damn thing about it!

3.- Watching every minimalism/style/make up/decluttering/early riser... PRODUCTIVITY videos but not applying shit to my own life.

4.- I realize I'm LATE for everything! And bae was very clear telling me I could lose huge opportunities just for arriving late every single time plus, nobody likes that, not even I like it...but now it has become a habit that needs to stop!

5.- Changing behaviour of work and productivity to stay - chill-

Abandoning your aspirations, goals or routines just to please others can become really dangerous to yourself. If you're ever in the middle of that cycle, please stop. Seems like everyone wants us to be some kind of way, but c'mon there is nothing bad with being yourself. This hit me this weekend...why did I ever stop working until late night? Why did I stop perfectioning my work? Why did I kept on putting my own confort over way more important things?

For example, dieting over 10 years ain't pretty. Let me tell you, it becomes a disastreous loop of dissapointment. Why? As far as I can tell and leaving aside ED thoughts and behaviours, there was never enough done, always leaving in the middle, when progress was not arriving as fast as wanted or when emotions hit hard and food was conforting. Tonight I tell my self... Babygirl it is time to STOP!

Time to rise above everything and reach to my inner strength. No pleasing others, time to fight for myself and don't let anyone shame me for who I am or how I do stuff. This time it is for me and I want my best! Change & progress won't be visible in one day, maybe two or maybe nobody will notice for weeks...months!

So this is the plan:

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.

October is gonna be such a great month, I'm gonna own it, take it in my hands and get the badass girl that is in me right out for the world to know ~

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

What makes sex good? No, what does it take to make it AWESOME?

Perhaps nobody ever sits down and actually thinks it through and I have asked those around me on what they think makes an encounter of sex, the most delightful one.

In life we get experiences that we pay for, such as trying new food, getting on a roller coaster or flying across the world, we even pay for sex and it is nothing new but, even though it's there...can we pay for good sex?

Not all encounters are magical and this is what my friends (mostly women) have told me when discussing the subject. Most of them argue it is a lack of attention to detail, which pretty much sums up in finding the clit, tragic isn't it? 2017 years counted and men still cannot find the clit...and don't get me started on the G-spot!

But gathering all information on good and bad sex, location is not the main problem.

First, let me remind you not all women will agree or identify with this, and this cherry knows there is a diversity of opinions and experiences, this is not an universal truth, just a woman telling her experience or other people experiences in this freedom space~

Getting back to it, when I exposed this topic to other women, first of all they would mention the physical aspects, you know, the obvious reasons of why a sexual encounter would fail or be prone to, but as our talk got deeper it seems like another side of the crystal came up and most of them would actually mention emotional connection.

They say emotions are tricky and dangerous, mostly one of them that plays with our daily life in every single way... LOVE.

Women agreed they would have the best sex of their lifes with those they loved and it's no surprise really! Sex is not only physical, but also a challenging and eye opening act of connection (sometimes of course). Just imagine, you are connected by a body part = penis, tongue, hand, fist... = with another person, it doesn't happen everyday! Someone is actually inside you! And when these parts have that click that makes them not only fit together but blend into pleasure, oh boy! That's when the magic happens.

They also mentioned even though the partner was not the ideal type they had in mind in the physical way, the connection they had was more than enough to keep the orgasms hitting the door, making them have the stronger ever they have experienced! Cause even with a big and porn ideal penis, emotions bring a lot to the table and they might even play against you if your partner does not feel a click.

So, sex is awesome and yes, you can have it without feelings but with them it seems women are experiencing more than good sex...they are unlocking the pleasure that comes from love and if you ever get to experience a true connection that can translate in sex too, you have discovered the MAGICAL SEX.

Until another midnight of Sex and the City inspiration

Era un día de San Valentín cualquiera, al menos cualquiera de los que pasé en preparatoria y la escuela decidió que era buena idea llevarnos a todos al cine a ver una película de zombies que sí, se enamoran y bueno, de lo lindo todo.

Antes de esta ocasión, mis amigos sabían muy bien de un crush mío, ese chico dreamy pero nerdy, que tenía sonrisa colgate y además era listo, jugaba volleyball y se lucía por lo alto. Era flaco y bastante reservado, pero para mí en ese entonces era un chico que me gustaba demasiado.

Volviendo a lo del cine, días antes decidí tomar el asunto en mis manos y confesarme, era cuando el drama coreano me daba bastantes ideas y eso de la confesión fue muy popular, así que dije ok, ¿Cómo decirle? Inventé un dichoso intercambio de regalos entre toda la clase, solo para poder comprar una taza de espresso blanca y que no me dijeran nada en casa, aparte de pensar en hornearla con un diseño hecho por mí.

El hecho de que fuera homemade también me daba esa ilusión de que el chico dijera wow! ok! seamos algo! (lo cual ahora pienso que fue super iluso de mi parte), pero bueno yo la hice toda linda con la frase en espiral y por dentro de la taza se leía:

Will you be my valentine?

La envolví y en una bolsa color morado (mi favorito), esperando lo mejor, otros detalles no recuerdo.

Ugh! Ese día me llevaron en auto al lugar y no sé si salimos a destiempo o algo por el estilo pero llegué super tarde y cuando todos ya estaban dentro de la sala. Lo que si es que mis amigos sabían que me gustaba y me guardaban un lugar junto a él, aunque cuando llegué alguien más lo había tomado, así que pasé toda la función en la parte de abajo y con un amigo que gracias al cielo me ayudó a no sentirme tan sola en el área de maestros... acabando la película salimos y todos andaban ya sea de shopping o viendo si íbamos a comer juntos.

Antes de esto llamé al chico y sin decirle nada solo le di la bolsa, porque preguntó para quién era o si me lo habían dado, extendí ridículamente mis brazos y se lo di, después de eso dijo amablemente, gracias! y nos separamos....en parte porque era la primera vez que yo hacía algo así con alguien que me gustara (lo cual era inusual) y también porque de la emoción salí corriendo lejos y llorando del shock y de lo boba que me sentí haciendo eso, aunque varias de mis amigas felicitaron el momento y lo valiente que fue.

Pasó el tiempo y de hecho fuimos a comer en la misma plaza; no lo volví a ver ese día, así que era obvio el resultado. Otro amigo solo me pudo decir que fue un "shock" para él y que no sabía que hacer, pero era obvio el rechazo, sino qué más?

Ni siquiera fue capaz de mencionar el tema, nunca hablamos de eso y solo lo dejé ir...me trató como si no hubiera pasado nada, solo amigos y ni siquiera de los cercanos. Creo que eso cuenta como experiencia de lo que muchos llaman friendzone, pero solo sé que desde ese entonces decidí que yo no haría el first move de ser novios o algo así, o sea si decir hey me gustas! pero no la pregunta que hace oficial a la pareja, porque esa experiencia me hizo darme cuenta de que quiero vivirlo, ser yo la que reciba algo lindo como lo que hice, que ese momento alguien lo preparara conmigo en mente...

Confiaba mucho en la valentía de declararse una y hacer la pregunta, pero al menos una vez en la vida, quiero sentir mariposas de que el hombre en cuestión haga una pregunta así, cursi o no, es algo que me gustaría y es por ello que dejé de lado la idea de ser yo la que hiciera tal cosa, al menos para "la pregunta" y no puedo decir que no he pensado en ello, porque cuando te pega el amor puedes hacer cualquier cosa, pero al menos en este asunto aún me reservaré ser el primero que alce la voz.

This year can be named the "year of planning" for the Mexican Cherry life

It all started with my life falling to pieces with lovely chaos in 2016, handling conflicting emotions, college and extracurricular activity. It became clear I needed a system to organize all my activities in the most effective way. I've always been a lover of to-do lists but to be honest, they tend to be forgotten or filled with nonsense tasks that just make post its look pretty and full!

This time I took it seriously. So, January became the test of the nouveau, took a notebook and casually wrote down lists of things I had to get done throughout the day. Motivation was there cheering me up every second and I had to do this even better... but there was something missing, since the notebook became the post it instead, it needed a SYSTEM...and after a couple of months indulging in cute planner photos on tumblr and Instagram, it was time for me to join in the adventure...yes!! I made a Bullet Journal!!!

Sort of

There are plenty tips and videos to take you into the process of making one, first of all I saw and read all the content from the creator Ryder Carroll, you can check it here: Creator's Website! I have to confess, it took me days to figure it out and completely understand how to Bujo, plenty of videos and articles, tons of pretty pictures, but I finally jumped in with a basic notebook and gave it a try!

You can check my favorite blogger Rachel Nguyen explaining in her own style the lovely method of the Bullet Journal: Her vid right here. Also, make sure to follow her, she has great content (in love with her vlogmas, or well, pretty much all her vlogs).

This was my first attempt (must say I prefer the minimalistic (?) way of making it) and believe me, this takes time and a bit of effort depending on the style you go for, but eventually you will find your own style and approach to plan with the Bullet Journal method.

Some advice, please, please, please! Do NOT feel pressured to make it artsy or aesthetically pleasing for everyone, as long as it works for you it's perfect and you can adjust it to look however you want~

This is the very first step I took into making my life a tad more productive and I am loving it now! Must say that it still does not reflect my complete style or even the design I picture in my head for it, but it works in organizing my activities, tasks and every single thing that can fit over there! Which is the main objective.

The attempt at this method below

First, the cover

To be honest I just grabbed a notebook that once was dropped in my mailing box, from an insurance promoting a life insurance package. Why not using a prettier notebook? Because I wanted to experience first and doodle, wreck it exploring styles and then use a lovely notebook/ planner using my preferred method without wasting such a beautiful item in experimenting (which I will make later this moth).

It is a really simple notebook, but loved the spyral and the fact that I was not worried experimenting with it because it was not the dream notebook, so the experiment was even easier, btw you can see the mark of the insurance company

Index

At first, I followed every advice and made the correspondent sections that were recommended, obviously the index is one of them. I had no idea of what symbols to use for what, but in the end it didn't even matter, because my pages turned out to work just using the squared box and the migration symbol, those are the only ones that stayed with me until now, and they work pretty well also, simple and precise.

Key

I tried using the key symbols but it was just too much, and it wasn't the best for me to have a symbol for every single thing, because I write in the Bujo the tasks to accomplish throughout the day, month, year and cathegorizing all seemed just a bit of a mess.

Pages Examples

My pages were pretty simple, no template to keep them on track, no images, nothing but text and motivation to get things done, I actually love how the one with the post it looks, idk why but it makes me feel like I did great fulfilling the must do chores.

I plan on having a more styled "template" for the upcomming hand made notebook, but right now completing the experimental bujo feels great!

Collections

If you have seen the creator's website (linked above), you'll get to watch some amazing as bullet journals, even the introduction video looks flawless, somehow this experiment didn't came out as stylish and pretty, but it truly helped me take a deeper look into bullet journalling and adapting it to my needs and daily life.

There is a section of the bujo's named Collections and you're supposed to fill pages with literally whatever you want, if you want a spread of favorite books, budget management, movies to watch, bucket lists, goals.....etc~ You put those in a section and write the page number of it to have it spotted. I had tiny post it marks on those that needed attention like the blue one above that showcases the importance of the section.

My collections include:

Wishlist - Products I want and have gotten over time

Managemente of my social service

Challenges - write down every challenge I do

Weight tracker - This cherry is on a diet

Article Ideas

Future Log Year Style - Wrote down what I want to accomplish this year

...

Future Log

Every month you "have" to write what your goals are for the month or the chores you postponed and now have to take place on another month (which was more my case). To be honest this didn't helped me much, because I forgot to take a look at the monthly future goal, sometimes I did but the tasks that were postponed too much were simply not meant to get done unless really important.

The one that was a bit more inspiring was the one I added to Collections which included my year goals.

Calendars

Cherry is quite a visual girl, so she needed to adapt the so called monthly future log... Drawing calendars on each month leaving enough space to place important events or tasks was easier and it gave me a visual tool to help me organize my week and acknowledging how much time was left to get things done.

This was pretty much how it all started with the experiment of having an actual bullet journal, cannot say it was the easiest to do, and I had to addapt plenty to make it work for me without wasting useful time.

Now I plan to make my own notebook and have a prettier one, now with the system and the adaptation that completes my daily organization.

Today is the day I will be exposing a story that I believe a lot of people can relate to.

Cherry entered college

In the begining everything was fine, met friends and within there was a special girl that was very alike in terms of working, fact that made projects super easy at the time and with the best grade always. Of course we partnered for everything, it was the best choice, wasting less time working and getting ultimate results, yup! It was good.

What I'm about to say might sound like bragging but as someone has told me:

You don't have to apologize for success, not when you have fought for it and worked you ass off to get what you have~

- I've always been an excellence student, yes, always, my parents raised me with that purpose in mind actually so, rivals tend to come on the way in order to take your first place and smile above you, now to add a bit more, I am very competitive in all matters, and want to win all the time (who doesn't?) and this girl presented to me as the same. She is very very competitive and will literally do anything to get what she wants. Either way our grades were always really the same, so we were practically the perfect TEAM.

Time passed and...turns out Cherry fell in love, and love has a cost sometimes... it all went perfect but on the journey, there were some challenges for da relationship to grow and remain as beautiful as it is at the moment (Ha! spoiler!). Let me tell you, Cherry is very emotional, her feelings are intense most of the time and there is no way to stop her from crying when she really is hurt. I have mentioned in TRUST ISSUES: PART I a bit of the story or some effects of it, at least the ugly side.

So, considering a lingering sadness

...and growing ache in roots of jealousy (obviously potentialized by real facts and events) this specific friend became a shoulder to cry on, since she was pretty much the one I had to spend three quarters of my day with -we had all our classes together- and she really listened.

At this moment of tranquility now I realize that many of her consolation speeches were mostly adding to the pain, they were not improving in any way, but rather depressing and making me doubt even more of what was going on.

This became eviden after my storm was over and happiness took over, since Cherry told her about all of the cute and fun stuff that happened regarding the painful situation and her reaction was pretty much cold stone and she instantly began to remind me all the bad aspects that his particular person has, how I didn't got what I wanted specifically, how this could lead to failure, how the other girl would never go away and well... reminding me all of the bad and no, no, it was not in a sense of hey girl be careful, I don't want him to hurt you again, no, it was said with such a tone that made me feel weird, even uncomfortable.

Why wasn't she happy that I finally was?

Throughout our college journey competition was evident as I said, but pretty normal actually, in my head love and growing up internally was a priority, because I consider these experiences one of a kind, the ones that help you learn more about yourself and guide your path towards a true destination, along maturity and tranquility in the overall life scenario. After my second semester breakdown due obtaining a B that would bring my GPA down by a tiny important bit - that in the end didn't matter at all- I realized there was more to worry about and the grading process is not fair at all for anyone! You can get an A with plenty methods that do not require learning for real, but let's say that while I had fun and relaxed a bit, she struggled a bit more with the love part.

My friend had a tough experience

That could all be solved by propper communication but at the moment we both suffered, but in her case studies were number one priority, above anything else and it was obvious she loved to beat everyone in the class, not in the best way we must add...

To make it shorter, this friend made it obvious that it was all good and magic when I was beneath her, in grades, crying over heartbreak, getting fatter even! but aslong as she had it "better" our so called friendship that well was mostly just partnership, was gonna remain the same. When my life turned around and got finally lovely, she started to leave and to be honest it may be one of the best things that happened during my college days.

I cried over this, yes I did, because no matter what we had, it was a huge part of my life aswell and suddenly breaking all contact was not really the way I expected things to go, and as a villain, which makes it worse, when literally all I did was study, go to work and spend time with my loved man. It came as a shock but all we lived, it became clear to me that she wasn't really a nice energy to keep around, she was the opposite of it, always expecting me to be down or at least not above her. Many would say that it was not the case and I made it up, that is how social life works, everyone makes up things about events that aren't even part of their life, creating unnecessary rumours and unreal details.

After she left me

...cutting all contact we ever had, my struggle to survive without a partner to share work or free time in between classes was hard, but after realizing how bad our energies were together, how the interaction added no good to self development and greatness, then my soul was finally in peace, there was no pain, no tears, no late night projects, no drama, and most of all, there was no one to bring me down anymore, no one inserting doubt in my life.

Currently I spend my days working, lazying around and meeting friends, spending also a ridiculous amount of time dedicated to my love. In general it is all about getting better, enjoying life and remember these situations happen, we change, we are dynamic creatures that are in constant change, so I'm not surprised by that and can only learn with the experience, remembering all the good times we had together and expecting she feels the same way, living life to its fullest, with no regret or bad energy involved, I wish her all the happiness~

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

Hello! if you're new to my blog, take a look around, it might not be much (yet), but it certainly opens the gates to a new journey I "the mexican cherry" am embracing.

Through my life, lots of people have told me to write more, that they like it or that it would be good to explore new fields of it. I study a really serious carreer so, writing has to be just like that: serious.
Although I definitely love to write about what I study, and oh! I forgot to actually mention that I am currently studying International Affairs, plus an online Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA), it gets hard to study both at the same time, but it is so worth it. Ok, got lost a bit! I surely will write another entry focusing solely on university matters.

To continue, writing has always been part of me, since little I wrote multiple stories and published a few through contests and opportunities that came thanks to the school I studied in, which takes me back to a moment a teacher told me he could see the next Nobel Prize of Literature in me.
I might be a little discouraged, because I'm obviously not pursuing that exact title, but also terribly inspired to make writing an even bigger part of me.

So this is just the background of why I write, now let's move on to the blog issue.

If you browse the internet and have accounts on tumblr, youtube and instagram, you might have already encountered some people that publish by a lifestyle tag. But if you look overall, it is probable too polished all the time, which is super inspiring to put your S**t together, but also quite discouraging when you're scrolling down on an instagram account of a girl who's content is amazing and shows multiple trips, parts of the world and of course, luxury EVERYWHERE!

This scenario might be how a lot of people actually live, but I looked around and noticed that most of us really don't live like that. It inspired me to write about life without that, and don't get me wrong, it is not bad in any way, just different! I wanted to read a blog that had the average girl, the normal life and difficulties that everyone goes through. I know most of the bloggers cannot write about personal stuff too much because it might cause trouble or go out of the already stablished blog content and most of all, some actually say it is risky to write like that and about that.

I decided to show the internet a different side of the lifestyle story, to actually share personal stuff that imply relationships, school, crisis and even sex. To write about literally every single aspect that life has, no matter what and no matter how. My life motto or at least what I follow in my everyday life with my friends is:

"If we don't discuss these topics with each other and learn about it real close, then how are we gonna know?"

That above is why I share with my friends most of my experiences, because sharing is caring. Yes it is! And the real stuff might be hard to swallow -no pun intended-, this is the reason I want to share with you guys all of it, and also why you're going to find entries that could sound a tad dramatic from time to time.

Ok so after we talked about the theme and writing background, let me tell you: WHY A BLOG?

Simple!

- It is currently free to share it all, while I stablish content and explore the world of blogging.

- To explore Creative writing: Carrie Bradshaw has been an influence to write the creative way, but since I still don't have a column, a blog is the way to express.

- In the blog, I can write about everything I want and how I want without any restraint

And the last but most important reason: A special someone gave me the final push to it, the one who I have to thank the courage to start this path and really if you ever read this, thank you so much! You were right, there is nothing to fear or lose.

This is my story, the summed up one so it doesn't become a book! And the journey for the Mexican Cherry continues, with plenty more to write and learn...

**Comming up: Mexican Cherry enters the social media way**

Hello & Welcome to a cherry post that this time, will tell you how one afternoon ...

As a 13/14 year old girl, life did not had terrible complications, but it started to crumble with the surprise of depression alongside a growing eating dissorder. I was very sad, cried in school, nobody ever worried too much, not enough to actually figure out it was more serious than hormonal changes.

I hated my body, surrounded by a 60cm waist mother, a grandma that bought waist trainers for me when I was only eleven and the usual social pressure comming from already skinny friends, my mental health started deterioring, restricting my food intake, getting into self injury and a bad community of ANA's that were not helpful at all, at least in making progress or recovering.

This summes up a bit from my early teenager years. Rock music calmed me a lot, but most of it would be the one that comes with sad lyrics or dramatic lyrics, yup! a slight dramatic genre of it, sad ballads, sad rock, sad and angry metal, That and even more! So, my daily inspiration was not the best to stay on track with recovery, or actually trying it for real! Indulging in sad melodies everyday was definitely not the way to happy state (at least for my case).

One Saturday afternoon while browsing Youtube videos, watching some performances of my rock bands and exploring everything I could, the section called "videos being watched right now" caught my attention. It was a pink thumbnail with girls in it, to the date, the reason of why I cliked that video remains unknown, but it led to a significative point in life that would change it all.

Here I present you the first K-pop video that shook my mind

❤

The song might not be the greates musical discovery, but it surely had nothing to do with any sadness or feeling that evoked it. It was just fun and not at all tiring, in fact, it made me want to learn their dance and sing along even though the lyrics are in korean and at the time I only understood english. That video led me to explore more, first I searched for more material of the beloved Wondergirls (sadly now disbanded) and I found a range of groups that had a diversity of charms to offer. A lot of people say k-pop groups are all the same, but believe me if you look past prejudice and actually look at them, you will eventually know k-pop has a ton of styles within, not being globed by a certain way.

Back to my story, this little girl started to follow their activities, browsing through multiple korean sites, videos and lyrics (romanized of course) leading me to grow interest not only in k-pop, but in Korea itself. Due that, I learned how to read their alphabet, to pronounce and sing propperly.

Culture has always been an interest of mine, I read a lot and investigate about a ton of them online so, Korea became my focus and I learned even more about it through, guess what! Variety Shows! Learning vocabulary and mannerisms became way easier with them on my side and this culture showed me a side of life that can really affect everyone's lives in a sweet positive way.

If you know about Korea, you must know already that self-growth, hard-work, constance and everyday upgrade are vital components of life over there. Having this in mind, even though my eating dissorder wasn't cured magically, it was certainly re-directing itself to a more positive light, having me eat healthier foods like: sweet potatoes, lettuce (kimchi influenced), milk, even meat! I was going through a vegetarian period and cut out meat but watching shows of koreans eating it simply made my mouth water :3

From this day my discipline totally upgraded, i learned dances (I still know the steps for the song above), korean language, korean culture, history and even geography! Wondergirls became my beloved girlgroup and even though there are hundreds of them now and they disbanded recently, they're always gonna be in my heart. I sincerely think that you can make the best out of any hobby such as dancing k-pop, watching variety shows and more into a really nice activity that also brings something to your own life.

My depression was not magically healed or gone, but it got way better, this songs helped me get a different perspective, everything was happier, videos made me dance and workout and overall be a happier girl in my everyday life, even now when I'm blue and need a hype I can always trust some k-pop to brighten my day!

I hope others can have this experience and get to know more than what meets the eye and not only stay with music and idols, but go beyond and explore this beautiful culture.

Hello cherries!

Today I present you the moodboard of the week! Even though it is arriving a bit late than expected, this gathering of beautiful visuals is pretty much the sum up of last week also. Between handling events, meet ups with friends, cooking an average of two hours per day to follow a diet and of course every single project that needs to get done...or started, there's been a topic right on my mind that I notice everyone is working on.

You guessed it

PRODUCTIVITY

First of all, let me credit an awesome tumblr blog for the upper right image where a a notepad, bullet journal and starbucks appear, click right here to check Eintsein's inspiring post and make sure to check the entire blog since it is besides beautiful, incredibly helpful!

This week the moodboard consists of florals, nostalgia, and productive inspiration. Let me list the elements that compose this visual board:

#GIRLBOSS

If you haven't watched this serie please do, it is awesome and every chapter had me truly inspired, since it is based on the book by Sophia Amoruso and her real life events creating a successful business. The story is so relatable and can be enjoyed easily, btw the soundtrack is bomb!

Coffee Shops

Could be weird for some, but I love, love, love to work in a coffee shop. Somehow it gives me double motivation to finish my duties and it is magical to write with a cozy & embracing environment hugging your every thought as you manage to get things done!

Flowers

We are in Spring, at least in Mexico and flowers are everywhere and the reason they are on the moodboard is because they happen to inspire my sweet and delicate side, but they also evoke what life is, since they grow and wither right in front of your eyes, just like ideas, like that project you wanted to do but never did, exactly! it could be blossoming, but instead you let it wither.

No more! Our garden of thoughts and ideas is meant to be taken care of, so let's dive in to nourishing our minds and stop procrastinating or making less of what we think ;)

LOVE

Yup! I seem to be a helpless romantic! Could be true, but cmon guys, don't you love love? It is pretty much everywhere we look, surrounding us with nature, people, stories, music and everything there is. Without love, whether it is self-love or not, it is my believe that without it, most of what we do becomes mechanical. Love what you do, love what you do, love what you are! ~

Have you ever felt like you connect with the story of a character in TV? Most of the time it is just fantasy, but others the script hits you on the gut and shocks your system making you wonder how is that so like my real life????

This has happened to me with multiple movies, series and books even, but there is a show like no other, oh yes! Sex and the city (SATC)~ One of the most popular series ever made and girl, it is one of the most relatable ones also! If you haven't seen it, believe me, it is life changing.

I was exploring the instagram random posts to vary my feed and found a ton of accounts that have these stills of the show with the captions on it, quotes and else. 20 minutes later I was still going through this content, one caption got my eye and I kept scrolling, but now with warmth that filled my entire being. What was it?

For the ones that have yet to watch SATC, I won't spoil the whole story, but in Season 4, episode 8, this happens:

To be short, her boyfriend at the moment "Aidan", helps her with her laptop since it failed and she lost her entire work. He then buys a new computer and tries to help her with everything he can..

More happens in the episode but to be honest the part that inspired this post is only that fraction of love that Aidan shows to Carrie and how it made me remember how my love life has been in the very same situation!

I am not that good when it comes to technology, digital stuff in general and even though I'm passionate to learn and discover, sometimes I wander through hours of desparin trying to install something. For a few years I have been lucky enough to have a digital wizard all for myself (well, helping me with it) and it seems that this image of them just like that, took me back to every moment my man has ever helped me with stuff like that. There is this feeling of gratitude and love that just fills me up and makes me smile so wide everyone wonders wth is going on with me.

Some may call me intense for expressing my feelings a lot, but goddamn, as I always say: If I love, I love with my all and no restraint at all ~

❤❤❤❤

Love is not meant to be tied or censored, to me, expressing it is the most healthy thing you can ever do and it also assures the other part of the relationship of how you feel about them. I cannot be more thankful to the man always helping and supporting me in every way. He is way more than this scene of Aidan, even more than Mr. Big himself and if you know what I'm talking about, you must know how extreme this case is! Yes, I've been there, even though independence runs through my veins, I can sometimes feel lost and a hand of support is always good and what better than from your favorite human ever?

If you are lucky to have a special someone in your life, do not take it for granted, it is a miracle your energy matches another one and if love sprouts from that special connection, you've hit the JACKPOT!

Personally I am living in Vegas if that's the case, and don't get me wrong, not everything is perfect, but it is for sure more than ever 💕

Believe me, I will write more about SATC in the future, reminiscing, reviewing it and every single aspect this lovely show reaches.

-I might be late on my blog schedule, love and self care have taken their time to disrupt my life a little bit and make it way more fun and healthy than ever-
