i talked to a friend today...and we got to the topic of 'just going the flow..' this friend has a 'go with the flow' vibe..and doesn't really make long term goals...when asked why he stayed with a company for a year, all he said was that he stayed just because...and he left because something happened that caused him not to attend work for quite some time...although i am most of the time a happy-go-lucky person and at times, just choose to go with the flow, i cannot stand not being in control of my life... my friend chooses to be mediocre..because if he aims high, he and the people around him have high expectations of him... but i have always chosen to be great... mediocrity for me is just choosing to not make the most out of your life...i have always believed that not trying and not taking risks is not living at all... but that's just me. and that's just my friend too.
ps. this is the very first time i've worn deep berry lipstick..saw it on my mom's dresser and tried it out before i asked dad to take photos of me. yes, my dad takes my photos. *wink*
black blazer - linea italia
striped top - thrifted
skinny jeans - chillypapa
strappy heels - so fab!
dog tag - custom-made
rings - blue: props | howlite: dane's giveaway
sunnies - thrifted
Definitely need to wear that lipstick more - IT LOOKS SO GOOD ON YOU.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm kind of like you. I definitely HATE mediocrity; there's nothing fulfilling about it. Though I am pretty laid back, I don't get stressed easily.. but still, I like to have expectations of my self! Keeps you motivated, no?
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Cool shoes and dog tags. I'm minimally a "go with the flow" kind of person. A friend and I would laugh about how we "plan" time for breaks/freedom. In 10 years I hope to have acheived some goals and I don't think "going with the flow" will do it...
ReplyDeleteyour shoes are so fab! such a classic but cute look.
