From The Intern Corner / / Black Void

We’re going to have a raw moment here. Right now, you and me. As I have mentioned before in my first “From The Intern Corner”, I love makeup. It is my black void, or peaceful place (those two things sound so opposite but try to follow me here). I’m already an “artsy” person, so makeup to me is a kind of art, or a type of painting. It is “me” time. The point is, life in general is a little hectic, a little tough, and sometimes a bit of a downer. But life is really meant to be enjoyed, yeah? Well, when life gets a bit drab (aka like everyday), I love stopping time and taking my mind off everything that is practical and that is life. I have a few happy hobbies, but for today, makeup will be my example. I love taking a small part of my day and using it for myself, doing something that makes me content, relaxed, and not going to lie, kind of brain dead. Either getting ready in the morning, or late at night on YouTube, those few minutes of makeup and me make me rather hassle-free and quite blissful. Life then gets a tad more cheery, a smidgen brighter, and way more colorful. I want to encourage you to find that theoretical cup of Joe, the sunshine on your sheets, and the songbird to your summer. Whether its actually painting, reading, hiking, baking, working out, watching movies, mowing the lawn, writing, fixing machinery, listening to music, or swimming (or anything else under the sun), make a point to stop time throughout your day to go brain dead and do something that makes you enjoy life. Just as you should.
