Meltdown

I've feel like I've been having difficulty breathing lately, or a super tight chest feeling. A lot of things are going on in life that are pretty stressful and exciting. I think my husband had a much higher tolerance for the type of stress I'm dealing with right now, as if he doesn't understand. I feel like I'm having a silent meltdown.

Giving back

I've been spending a lot of my time thinking about the business. I've even put myself in an uncomfortable situation of going to a fashion startup networking event. I used to think that I could do everything on my own, and I'm sad and embarrassed to say that it took me this long, probably a decade too long, to realize that I need a lot of help. I need community. And I need to develop myself to a point that I can also help others out.

It might all stem from moving a bunch as a kid and having coddling parents who made sure everything in my life was relatively smooth and stress-free.

Anyway, I feel like there's so little time left, though ask me again when I'm 60 and see if I actually didn't have time haha.

Thinking about how the business can simultaneously give back to the world is something that I'm now giving more though to. I don't think I'm the non profit type, but we need to figure out how fashion can give back to the world, and not just take and pollute.

Another side thought was whether vegan leather is actually better or worse for the environment than chrome tanning leather. Need to do more research.

Piano

This lady I found on instgram apparently is a DIY whiz. She found a old piano on Craigslist and painted it blue. Results were fantastic, I almost wanted to do one myself! Looked at craigslist and there was an upright in good condition for free! Immediately texted the husband and asked if I could get it. Shortly after called my mom to see if i could house it at her place. Lots of hesitation on both ends but no strong no... Haha. Great people in my life, too scared or hurting my feelings! 

Singapore

Singapore is in the headlines today, for LKY's passing. Though with mixed feelings about his authoritarian ruling, he's definitely transformed the country to what a great place it is today. Some oft most compassionate and ambitious lifelong friends are Singaporeans. Maybe tough love is good love. Maybe we should treat ourselves that way- have a plan for our own lives and control ourselves when we have certain inclinations that aren't in line with our master plan. Maybe we'd be more successful.

Used to know this

Fb is amazing

I travelled the world in over just scrolling through 5 min of my feed. What will the future bring?
