Happy October! I hope you are enjoying the new month so far. I am certainly loving this slightly cooler weather and all things pumpkin spice and seeing leaves just starting to turn colors. Autumn never ceases to give me a sense of wonder and amazement. Why do pumpkin spice things taste so yummy and how leaves know exactly when to change and how to change colors? Why is the sound of crunching leaves so satisfying? Yes, I certainly adore the simplest things in life.
I have always preferred savoring the tiny things in life rather than splurging tons of money, time, and effort into creating a spectacular event to enjoy. For me, I much rather cook a meal at home and get to eat it in my pajamas than go out to a fancy five-star restaurant. I love evening walks around my neighborhood just a bit more than going to concerts or the big events. I feel most comfortable in a plain t-shirt, an old pair of jeans, and my cowboy boots. I joke that I pretty much wear the same thing everyday just in a different color or pattern. I am fine with absolutely no makeup on and my hair is usually pulled into a very messy bun. I tried to learn how to do adorable hairstyles on Youtube, but it turns out hair is not one of my talents. How did I manage to create huge knots in my hair and the lady in the video ended up with gorgeous and intricate hair? :)
If you're like me, don't think there's anything wrong with you or that you are alone. I promise you that you are not as weird or odd as you think you are. It's okay to be a simpler girl. Don't try to force yourself to do things differently just because you see other people doing so. We cannot all act or look like each other. That is so boring and unoriginal and we need to start celebrating individuality more. You are so special and awesome just the way you are. The best thing you can do is to be true to yourself and always make sure you are completely comfortable in your own skin. By doing so, you'll build so much self-confidence, and others will take notice. Maybe you will start your own trend. You never know!
Take care of yourselves and enjoy celebrating your own uniqueness.
XOXO
Chloe
