I told you I was back for good, and here I am again to prove it! Today's outfit was all about the Docs (which I bought yesterday after saving up all the money) which are my new favorite shoe. A Brandy shirt (grey), a Brandy patterned skirt (yellow and black), and ripped tights. The shoes come a little stiff so breaking them in is necessary. Luckily for me breaking them in happened while I biked 5 miles in under an hour. This occurred so that my dad wouldn't get mad at me for being gone longer than an hour so needless to say my thighs are still burning. On top of that I did a two mile walk for the Samburu Project this morning. The Samburu Project helps raise money to build wells in Kenya so that women and children don't have to spend so much time searching for water. It's a really great organization so if anyone wants to donate, everything is appreciated! So during the walk I was talking to a friend of mine who is really quiet and observant. While walking I think I made a comment about what a jogger was wearing, and he turned to me and said that I was being really judgmental. Of course I just brushed it off at the time as a joke, but it got me thinking about how all of us judge others so easily. Whether it's a glance towards your friend when someone walks by, or thinking to yourself something negative about someone around you, it's still judging. I know that everyone does it whether or not they verbalize it. The saying is true that everyone is "silently judging"because of course no one is going to really tell you what they are thinking, but they are most likely thinking something that might come across as offensive. So to all of you reading this, next time you catch yourself thinking about how weird someone is dressed or how how they walk, stop yourself. Even though you are thinking it and not saying it, doesn't mean it's not rude. After all can't we all tell when someone is talking about us or looking at us strangely? I know I can and the feeling sucks. So keep that in mind and try and stop yourself next time...OH and donate to the Samburu Project!
Oh and as a side note if any of you know me personally, or live in the Los Angeles/West side, I'm gonna start shooting portraits (for FB, insta, or whatever) so if you are interested (FYI I'm really cheap) email me @ frompalomawithlove@gmail.com or if you have my number, text me!
xoxo Paloma
