It Started With Circles

I was going out of the restroom cubicle when I realized my skin’s complexion is looking kind of glum lately.  I don’t like comparing myself to hideous villains but this time I think it’s quite fair to say my skin sort of resembles that of Gollum.  Yes, of LOTR fame and yes, I think I’m getting dark under eye circles.  I’ve been smothering moisturizers on my face for about a week now and I don’t think any of that is helping.  What I do need is enough, probably more, sleep and to get rid of my coffee addiction.  Don’t ask me how I am going to go about that, I tried today but failed miserably.  Imagine, I only had a dollar left in my wallet and I’d rather use 80 percent of that for coffee.  So now, not only am I not getting anywhere near my goal of eliminating coffee, but I am broke as well.

I told myself today that I should knock some wise money spending skills on my skull soon or I am going to be picking up scraps all my life.  My horoscope was rather harsh when it indirectly told me that “Overreaching for something you want could leave you feeling extremely exhausted. You must find another way to obtain it. Attend to a pressing need that has already been put off for much too long.”  A little bit matter-of-fact if you ask me.  So I guess I have to put my accumulating lists (of things to buy, books to read, things I need asap) in the drawer.  I have to build my treasure trove, at the least, if I want to get this right.

I’m quite the impulse buyer/shopper/decision-maker, whatever you want to call it.  So lately I’ve been thinking of getting myself a tattoo which, by the way, has been on my mind since high school but had to set aside due to the conservative society I used to live in.  Now that I’m in an environment where everyone’s a bit more tolerating, I could jump on the skin art bandwagon – finally.  But while I’m waiting for THE tattoo design to occupy my hip area, I think I’m going to get one on my left wrist first.  Basically the design is very geometrical that consists of three circles.  I don’t want to divulge more on it but I’m hoping to get it soon.  However, since I’m trying to make some reform, I’d have to put this off until August.

Must break the cycle of impulse.
