I chose not to do my Fashionable Friday and Self-Care Saturday segments this week. Apologies if you read my Fashionable Friday blog before I took it down. I just felt that it wasn’t good enough and I want to provide you guys with great content.
I also decided to postpone my Self-Care Saturday blog post because I’m tying it in to another blog post this week. I’ve been reading about Karamo in my Queer Eye book and picking a lot of great tips along the way for living a better life and being a better person. I’ll get to that in Wednesday’s blog.
This past week started out good. I put in a two mile walk at Twin Lakes. My first walk of the year. I had two blog posts done and ready to go and then, things came up. My cousin/nephew was back at Children’s due to his wounds acting up. I don’t blog about Benny’s health issues because that’s personal and plus, I have enough segments on here to keep this blog active without overdoing it.
It did hit me emotionally and threw me off of my game. I was trying on my new shirts I got from Old Navy and the pics I took didn’t turn out as good, hence why I scrapped the Fashionable Friday blog for this week. Maybe if I was open to taking pics in better settings that would work too (I take pics in my room). Once we turn the clocks ahead and the weather warms up, then I’ll be more open to slaying my amazing fashionwear and showing off my new Spring and even Summer ‘fits.
This week made me feel like I was going back to 2022. Last year I struggled with adjusting to my new work routines but eventually I was able to get it down. I was feeling like I wasn’t loved and getting no support at home for my nonconforming lifestyle. The people I depended on in social media were nowhere to be found and that left me in despair as well.
We all have a bad week once in a while. Things don’t turn out the way we expect them to, and we feel that will be a turning point for the rest of the season, or year. But we learn more from failure than we do success. Just because we fell short this week doesn’t mean we give up. Just because we got a bad review doesn’t mean we stop doing what makes us happy.
I’m a fan of Dhar Mann’s channel and, in light of the news about the strike at Dhar Mann Studios, my opinion is that Dhar needs to take his own advice. I’m talking about the messages he puts in his videos. I’ll close off this blog with my advice to him and the quote that best represents me at this time.
To Dhar, many people experience success and then forget about the people that helped get them there.
To me, being successful won’t always make you happy. But being happy will always make you successful.
