My voice all week
But it's not like your girl
Is running the streets
I got bills to pay
And a whole lots on my mind
(I'm not the type of girl)
I'm not the type of girl
To lean on a man
So I'm just working hard
The best that I can
I got a lot to do
I'm tryin' to get that overtime
That's why I only got the weekends
(Weekend Girl)
I can't see you all week
But I really wanna be with you
(And I don't have time on the weekdays)
(Weekend Girl)
I know you thinkin' sometimes
That I'm really not into you
(But maybe we can try to work it out...)
Do you ever feel like there aren't enough hours in the day?
Lately I've been pulled in a million directions at once; I haven't had much time for myself, and I've recently come to the realization that I'm too many things to too many people. A team can't succeed unless it's star player is in tact. And in this particular case, my team's star player is ME. So I've had an epiphany: I HAVE TO COME FIRST. Sounds simple enough but it's something I haven't been living lately. I have to handle MY business before I can help anyone else with theirs. I have to maintain MY health and well-being before I can assist somebody with theirs. You know how on an airplane they tell you to put YOUR oxygen mask on first before aiding another person? Well my mask is on now, hopefully I'll be able to breathe again soon...
My rant won't go unfocused; I do feel it applies to this blogpost. Because growing up, my Mom was always a walking, talking example of this: NEVER LET THEM SEE YOU SWEAT. You can be experiencing turmoil and stress on the inside, and still appear polished and composed to the outside world. This look is demonstrative of that principle. And in my opinion, few things exude polish more effectively in SL than a beautifully made system skirt. I realize a lot of women tend to shy away from them, but you really shouldn't. I plan to offer a small tutorial on system skirt shape adaptation in a future post, so keep your eyes open for that. This one from GATO is nicely constructed with an unexpected print. I chose the top to a sexy minidress in a striking aubergine shade, and threw on my favorite vest from RICIELLI over it. The bag is PERFECTION from Morantique; it's a Birkin-the ultimate RL status symbol brought to SL. The necklace is Morantique as well, and it's flawless. Lastly the hair is from SyDS, one of my favorite hair shops in existence. It's windblown, curly and lush mane is unlike anything else around. Thank you Serenite for showing me LOVE...Visit SyDS HERE...
