Monsoon Moodboard - July'19
I have been feeling the urge to cleanse myself. Monsoon rains bring a strange kind of melancholic nostalgia with them. Particularly taking me back to my high school days when summer vacations would be spent listening to the same few songs over and over, and reading and re-reading the same books.
I have been reading more now. Its been adding perspective. I recently finished reading "The Year of Magical Thinking" by Joan Didion. I did not cry. Which is strange. Because I expected it to make me. I hope i don't lose my parents soon. I want them to see me become someone, and sort of solidify my existence and standing in this world.
There's a huge black spot of dead pixels on my screen as I type this. It makes me wonder of how the color black is slowly seeping into my life. I used to like colors, but I think there's a sense of calm to the color black. Black is not the absence of color but in fact it is the absorption of all colors that culminates into black. I think i'm like that too. I listen to others. I observe. I hear. And just like the color black, i take it all in. Maybe that's why i really incline towards black? idk. It could just be me overthinking things. Like I always do.
The good thing is that my acne is under control now. I have been washing my face a lot more lately. But with soap this time. I use charcoal soaps now. Probably because I feel i really need to detox. I want to try out all the charcoal soaps by all the famous brands and see which one suits me more. That's something I have planned for an instagram post. Let's see. Oh, i just realized, this charcoal soap obsession is also another black thing.
I ordered black shoes from TSM&Co. Everyone loved them a lot. I got a lot of compliments. But then in a week, there were deep scratches in them. As if they've been cut with a blade. It scared me because they're expensive shoes, even though I got them on sale. So I put them back in the box and saved them for when I feel like dressing up. I moved back to my old two black shoes that I have. I think their soles broke after I soaked them in iodine water to clean them of germs. Pyodine is something I think everyone should use.
I had been shaving a lot because of my acne, so before a shave, i soak my razor in it for a while. The Purito Centella Buffet serum is a really good post shave serum. It's been helping my acne too, i think. As of typing this, I have no active acne on my face. Thank God.
I hope I can keep writing more here. I miss the way I used to blog. I want to talk more. I want to listen more, but talking is good too. The amaltas is fading away and monsoon is in full swing, so I am hoping the visual and sensitizing fodder is going to help me get back to writing.
I need new glasses though. Hope I can go out and get them made, and I hope they suit me. So that I can complete the moodboard.
