So I have literally just opened my eyes and thought ‘fuck it, today I’m going to just play about with my makeup’ this thought sounds totally irrelevant to anyone else but then its not really, try and stay with me and you’ll see where I’m going with this haha.
I haven’t just played with my make up and actually enjoyed it for so long. Its always been because I HAVE to because I am going somewhere, therefore its always rushed and becomes just another thing that I have to do. Doing something just because you have to takes all of the fun out of it for example; people who love to play a sport, they start doing it because it is their passion but after so long if their parents start to force them to do it or they just keep doing it because they need to, its not fun anymore.
There are so many situations that this happens and we all forget why we started doing what we are doing. I started playing with makeup because I loved all of the possibilities that come with it, smokey eyes, earthy tones, bright colours! it is a way to express yourself and I love it! but it has honestly been so long since I actually done it for fun.
Another way you can think of it is with eating, I know this sounds crazy but stay with me. When you wake up and you need to go to work or school and you are rushed, can you even remember what your breakfast tasted like? yeah sure you knew what it was but did you actually taste it? we all need to take time in what we are doing and do it all mindfully. Mindfulness is a skill that we all forget to practice.
The moral of the story that I am trying to get at and failing miserably is to have fun! what sort of a life do we have if we never take a little time to enjoy it? its the little things that matter like, playing about with makeup or simply to take time to enjoy a meal.
love, Demi-Leigh x
