If I wasn't doing this…

By admin

(with my Citrus fellas in Toronto before I left… miss you guys!!!)
I’d have a few other ideas of how my life would be…
1. I’d be designing fonts: I think I would’ve moved to Europe and hang out with hippies while I master the lower case “a”. I think it would mean lots of money going into art supplies and none on nice clothes. I’d be exchanging ideas and asking everyone wat is their favourite Modern Serif? LOL. (Actually I think I’m already doing this without moving to Europe!)
2. I’d be an art director: Nothing was more fun than looking through comp cards and trying to find the perfect model for a photoshoot. Working with stylists, photographers and the beauty people behind the scenes and translating that to the pages of a magazine always made any fashion student giddy inside!
3. I’d be a pastry chef: it took me 8 batches of cookies until I finally perfected my chewy white choc chip cookie recipe. I think everything I cook would probably taste the same – white chocolate, cinnamon and brown sugar – as I always include these ingredients in my baked goods. I hope there will be an oven in HK!!
4. I’d be an event planner: How could I forget the party people in Toronto and my Citrus-ites! We threw the best parties every month and rocking the night away with my partners made it so fun, we’d do it all over again!! I would be the notorious girl at all the parties, turning 40 and still partying with all the industry peeps. I can guarantee I’d be a serious cougar prawning on young college boys! hahahhaa…
5. I’d be a fashion teacher: I found my last year of school incredibly profound as one of my professors shed light on fashion in such a way that it consolidated my view of fashion. I think that inspired me to look further than the pages of Vogue or Harpers Bazaar, but more indepth as an academic discipline. I can see myself saving up for my Masters and giving it a go when I’m a little older. Maybe this would have been the profession that calls for the most stability, perhaps to settle and find a hubby in Vancouver?
Maybe one day I’ll get to do everything, what would you do if you could trade up?

Even though I kept myself open to whatever the Universe sent to me, I trusted myself to make the right decisions in life. If it was not in alignment, I would be able to let things go and make peace with it. Learning how to honour myself above anyone else has given me clarity about how I want to create my future. 

I’ll admit it has been scary because sometimes I worried if I wasn’t good enough to do so. But, I knew if I wanted to level up in life, I had to pay the price. 

Find your light, find your worth.

I’m showing my double chin to the world and I would do it over and over for her kisses. 🐕

    It’s really hard to put into words what this pas It’s really hard to put into words what this past trip has meant for me. I spent nearly the entire year of 2022 working non-stop. Even when my body told me to stop, I didn’t. 
I tried my best to maximise my time with the people I care about and opted for the best experiences that were of worth and value to me. It’s been 20 years since I’ve left Vancouver and I’ve never felt more at home. This has been such a beautiful time of play, discovery and bliss. 😍

I saw this scripture during service and it was a good excerpt to anchor what I’ve been feeling over the past few months. I’m not chasing earthly possessions or the kind of clout I need from others to feel whole. I’m heading back to KL armed with a different perspective. I’m finding more peace and more joy in the little things in life. It’s a new level of exciting. 🙌🏻
