The World Out There

Recently I had been hit by this, the more I learn about different aspects of life; the more vulnerable I feel. I was never satisfied with the thought of settling in one place forever. Since I have left the city I have come to known as home this past spring, I realized that I had been playing around in the shallow side of the pool, thinking the deep end is the rest of the world, when in reality there is a vast sea out there. With knowledge brings desire; the desire to know more, to be inspired and to inspired. Will this hunger ever be satisfied?

I am often overwhelmed with the feeling that there is something missing in my life. I do not know what it is, I am searching for it. Will there ever be an end to the search? Will I ever want an end to this search? After all, life is about experiencing. If I ever find this missing piece will life still be worth living?

Different Like Coco

I had plans to watch Star Trek with a friend today. We got to the theater 10mins before the show to get tickets and the seats that were left were quite bad. The choices came down to the first 3 rows in front of the screen. We opted for watching something else. I wasn’t really in the mood for a chick flick at first but I figured what the heck, the movie had pretty good reviews. “Coco before Chanel” was a wonderful surprise. Coco Chanel was a modern woman ahead of her time. She knew what she wanted and is determined. Yet the movie also portrayed her to embody very feminine weaknesses. She was afraid when she decided to accept her independence in Paris. It touched my heart. I have new found admiration for her after watching the movie. I long to know more about her life and be inspired by a great woman like her.

Chanel had done some amazing branding to the masses in the past two years. I am converted after the art mobile exhibition and this biography about Coco Chanel. I know the movie isn’t related to the company but it definitely boosted the company’s image. I am in love with them now. My favorite fashion icons Coco Chanel and the most elegant Carolina Herrera.
