‘Sometimes clinging to a cloud ain’t as easy as it seems, but we try and we try’

Every time I’m faced with rejection I remember that it’s not easy chasing your dreams but as a human you owe yourself that courage to at least try :)

My cousin watched "Kotaro Lives Alone" with me and he also likes the show. He really wants Kotaro's shirt, but who doesn't?

[melanatedqueen-18]

This show has me tearing up, I thought that it’s about living alone for the first time and navigating those challenges.

My favourite wanderlust songs of all-time

Far East Movement - Rockerteer (feat. Ryan Tedder)

Lucky Daye - Roll Some Mo’

Lianne La Havas - Tokyo

Somi- Ankara Sundays

There’s just something about these songs that remind that I can always escape and that I shouldn’t forget about my dreams of travel

“'Cause what I've seen so far is heaven sent

Eloquent and decadent

Every drop you send my way I hold on, babe

I'd live this whole damn life all over again

Just to meet you once again

Every second, minute, hour still in place”

-Alex Isley ‘Mine’

“When will I begin to feel like me again

I’m hanging by a thread”

-Adele

My favourite Kdramas of 2021

Mine

Starring: Kim Seo-hyung, Lee Bo-young and Cha Hak-yeon

I mean the drama, the storyline, the opulence. It reminded me of SKY Castle (maybe it’s because Kim Seo-hyung was in it) but I throughly enjoyed that drama. It kept me on my feet

Vincenzo

Starring: Song Joong Ki, Ok Taecyeon and Kwak Dong-yeon

“Revenge is a dish best served cold” that could explain the slow burn revenge and well thought-out plans. Song Joong Ki plays ‘Consigliere’ very well but I must say the scene stealer is Kwak Dong yeon (I haven’t seen him in a lot of shows but I look forward to his future roles). Ok Taecyeon played the perfect villain in this drama.
