little update about August, it was a great month for me. i turned 25, i spent my birthday with my parents, i have art commissions, and i am super blessed. this september, there will be soooo many changes in my life, i need to make a decision to choose myself, to save my mental health, and i will never regret it. :)

happy 9.9 everyone! add to cart all you want but be mindful on what to check out. :)

june & july 2020 — keeping my journal by summarizing my month on what makes me happy, new discoveries, and what’s keeping me alive. also, starting my month full of hope and some reminders. trying my best to keep a daily journal or plan my week ahead but yeah, life is full of... hmm.

quarantine spreads — decided to download TikTok app just for fun making my journal process videos, some calligraphy and DIY tutorials. thanks to that i started doing art commissions and collaborating with brands.

things i wish i’d been told sometimes

𓂃 your life revolves around you and it always has. if you feel the need to stop and catch your breath, do it. time moves forward, but your life will never be able to continue without you. 

𓂃 the way people talk to you about others is a direct reflection of how they talk to others about you. remember that. 

𓂃 life is too short to stay quiet. your voice carries you as much as you carry your voice. 

𓂃 nobody pays as much attention to you as you think they do. 

𓂃 nobody’s expecting you to do something useful every day. you shouldn’t expect that from yourself either. 

𓂃 nothing that matters to you is useless. if it’s important to you then it’s important, period.

𓂃 don’t live every day like it’s your last–rather like it’s your first. get to know your space, get comfortable where you aren’t yet, try new things but not everything at once. and look forward to things that are coming. 

𓂃 you’re only responsible for what you can control and influence. focus on that. 

𓂃 stop trying to be okay all the time. you do not have to be okay all the time.

𓂃 it’s more common to have a soft and protecting tummy than to have flat abs. both is healthy, both is pretty. 

𓂃 your teens are not your only chance on having a good, fulfilled, and social life. if you can’t find your place in high school you will in another environment. this isn’t where it ends. 

𓂃 you have the right to change your mind over and over and over again until you’re happy.

Discipline is what drives you to get up despite of how awful you feel and get on with it.

this is my favorite spread, i’m still working on this trait. 2020 is really a tough year wohooo, pandemic plus no concrete plans. char.

adjusting with online learning (decided to enroll my 2nd master’s degree), working from home for my day job, and art commissions (yey! i just started accepting this year because of the tuition fees and ofc i love making commissions esp for my clients’ special days)

keep going, fighting!

Sometimes it’s okay to slow down, take a deep breath, and treat yourself. Remember, it is important to take care of your physical and mental health. Work hard but don’t let work take over your life. Have a nice day! ❤

(post exam treat…)

hello there! i’m alelie and it’s been a year or two years? i guess.. if you’re still around and remember me. i hope that you’ll support my recent posts and life updates. tehee 🤍

aaand yes! i just turned twenty five but i’m feeling younger. Years ago, I thought at twenty five means being able to do everything. But now that I got here, I learned to be grateful for slow and steady growth — even in uncertainty, to be more calm when things get overwhelming, and to trust His plans for me. Here are some lessons and advice that I’d like to say to my younger self. cheers to quarter life! ☕️

two of my favorite robert frost poems for two of my favorite hogwarts houses. i dont know about you guys, but these two stanzas of robert frost hold so much motivation and inspiration, especially for a student who has so much more good and bad to experience. high-res versions of these are in the link to the google drive!
