True generosity means accepting ingratitude. Coco Chanel
Don’t feel bad if people remember you only when they need you. Feel privileged that you are like a candle that comes to their mind when there is darkness. Right to Learn*
A couple of days ago, I stumbled upon this couple of quotes that pretty much sum up how I feel about being there for other people, whether they appreciate it or not.
Fashion has always been one of my passions, I have loved dressing up ever since I was little. I can love and appreciate all styles, from ‘preppy’ to ‘rocker chic’, but my personal motto when dressing myself is better described by a popular saying in Spanish: “De la moda, lo que te acomoda“, which translates to something like this, “From fashion, what suits you”. So, I try to find and wear outfits that are flattering and make me look good. I rather look good than look trendy, so you’ll often find me wearing classic, timeless pieces as opposed to the latest trends. However, I do like having fun with new trends, so when I really love one, I try to incorporate touches of it to my outfits, especially with accessories. Plus, those small touches can immediately make a classic look fresh and modern.
Today, I just wanted to share a look I wore Saturday night to go out with friends to one of my favorite bars, The Casablanca Lounge.
I’ve known of Carl Gustav Jung for a long time, his name and work inevitably came up in any Philosophy and Psychology classes I took in high school and college. I have even loved some of his quotes for a while, but it was recently while gathering some of my favorite quotes, that seeing them all together and realizing how many of his quotes really connect with me that a deeper curiosity about him and his work really ignited. So, I started doing a little research on him and found even more to love. His work is vast and since I haven’t read it all, I can’t claim to agree with that I don’t know, meaning I can’t surely say I’d agree with completely all of his ideas and philosophies. However, most of the bits and pieces I have read I was able to relate to, deeply. A lot of what he wrote about and believed in, I have found to be true in my own experience.
