šŸŽ¬šŸ’• One of my goals this year is to watch ā€œlight heartedā€ movies.

That’s why if you check my Netflix profile it’s full of rom-coms and Korean shows.

I’m tired of the heavy stuff, I see enough of it IRL.

Thankfully, rom coms are making a come back— I mean, the cinemas opened for the year with a remake of and I couldn’t be happier.

2010/2011 was such a great year for romcoms though.

These four have been my favorite to watch and rewatch, with leap year as my ultimate favorite.

If you are looking for rom coms to watch this Valentine, you should check these out.

Also let me know your favorite romcoms so I can watch as well.

January has come and gone, and boy am I glad.

Not that it was a bad month; actually, it’s the best one I’ve had in a while.

But you know, the whole new year, fix your life pressure never fails to get to me.

Which makes February feel like a breath of fresh air because everyone has relaxed. It brings a kind of normalcy that I love and appreciate.

I hope you had a great start to the year? If not, February comes with another opportunity for it to be great.

Wishing everyone a happy new month! May these 29 days be filled with blessings for us all. 🌟

So I’m not an girl, I don’t know much about it other than my birth sign— Gemini ā™Šļø

Although, I do find it interesting when people talk about it but I’m too lazy to learn about it on my own.

But this year I’ve been noticing the moon a lot.. not consciously I might add.

I was just on my own on the 4th of June, reading a book in my room when I noticed something shining on my face.

I actually didn’t think of the moon when I looked up to check what it was, cos I *don’t* think of the moon. It’s never here so out of sight, out of mind

But when I did, I was like ā€œoh it’s the moonā€ excitedly, and it was a full moon.

So i just kept starting at it…actually it was distracting me from my book cos it just kept shining on my face

Ever since, I’ve always watched out for the moon. It came back again on the 9th if I remember correctly and a few other times before it disappeared completely in July.

But you know what they say about august and it’s visitors šŸ˜‚

The moon came out tonight, but only for a brief moment. I think it was a crescent moon.

And I felt like writing my first thoughts about the moon as I remembered paying attention to it in June.

And these are some of the words I’d use to describe it if it were a woman. I didn’t want to cross the line between admiration and worship 😬

But the moon inspired me tonight, and I think that’s a beautiful thing, and I wanted to share.

All thanks to the creator of it, and have a happy Sunday šŸ’œ

Love,
Raia

This past weekend was my birthday and to close the curtain on it, I watched a movie called ā€œGiaā€ on Sunday night.

Amongst the dialogue, that particular line stood out to me as a reminder both personally and professionally… mostly personally.

I love how perfectionism keeps losing points.

I always wondered why it’s advised to not say ā€œI am a perfectionistā€ in job interviews.

I mean who wouldn’t want a perfectionist working on their team ?

But, beyond the cliche, I’ve come to realize that being a perfectionist is not the same as being an over achiever

From personal experience, perfectionism stems from an unhealthy place of fear. It’s an all or nothing mentality that keeps you from moving.

Not everything will go perfectly, and that is fine.

Heck, my birthday didn’t go perfectly, I couldn’t find better lighting for my pictures, even though I couldn’t wait for days to take a picture in my birthday dress.

This is just a reminder to say that your dreams will not always start out perfectly.

And sometimes it’s in the imperfections that you see things clearly.

Always remember that absolutely NO ONE is perfect. Not even the people that inspire you.

Can you guess the first thing I notice in people?

Yup, you got it! Their smile.

If you aren’t smiling at first meet, I’m just seeing a big circle.

I have this friend who has the most gorgeous smile. I don’t see it often cos we don’t live in the same country, but I randomly remember it sometimes in my day to day šŸ’€

I was singing shakira’s ā€œthe oneā€ earlier today, and when I got to that line in the picture above, it was her smile I imagined šŸ˜‚

(No, I am not obsessed with her. She just has the most beautiful smile that’s all šŸ’œ)

But I would like to know, what is the first thing you notice in people?

Last night, a friend came over and for 2hours we were just catching up and laughing.

After he left, I was too lazy to go to my room, so I stayed back in my dinning just texting.

I had a show to finish, but I really wasn’t in the mood.

And it dawned on me that I hadn’t thought about anything else. It was just me, my phone and the people I was texting.

I mean it’s the night after a 4 day holiday.

Normally, I would be thinking about everything I had to do this week, and how to ā€œget my groove backā€

The funny thing is that if I had been watching my show, I would have been distracted and making mental notes of what I had to do this week.

Rather than all of that, there was just peace.

And it felt really good to not be bombarded with the ā€œto-dosā€ and what not.

I am happy I took notice of that moment šŸ’œ

What would you say is the most peaceful part of your day?

My life lately;

I have been so nervous about my life and the goals I’ve set for myself, that I just need a spoiler already.…

Do I achieve them or not 😭

The process is draining and I just want throw my papers in the air and rest

I keep thinking of what I would do if I had all the money in the world…

Will I finally know just how many shows are on these streaming platforms, since I’ll do nothing but watch them all as I travel the world?

OR

Will I still be pursuing some endless dream and goal?

Right now, my answer is option A.

Because I am TIRED of pursuing dreams and goals. 😭

Everyday I take deep breaths, reminding myself that I got this.. and I do.

But I’m still tired. I’ll still complain and get frustrated with the process.

I’ll do all of that and cheer myself on.

Because that’s exactly how I feel, and I’m not going to be robotic about it, or internalize the ā€œbadā€ feelings

I am however grateful for the little distractions here and there. From Davido’s timeless, to Netflix’s night agent and extraction šŸ«¶šŸ½

I hope April has been good to you guys?

Happy New Month, everyone! May it be an audacious month us šŸ’œ
