Here's a little update because you i believe i owe you one :)

(one; things i'm lovin')

LIFE LATELY #25

it's been a while since my last life update post. i feel like i am sooo behind that i don't know where to begin. life has been rolling faster than i expected and i couldn't really find time to focus on this little space until now. i swear the older we get the little time we have.

i flew to this country where-i-will-settle-next.  empty seats in my row, pretty much the best thing you can hope for in commercial flight. 

train situation: when i saw that everyone's eyes were glued to the screen, i can't help but wonder if people ever look up nowadays. (?)

mango dessert just because. 

my birthday is definitely the recent highlight in my life. beautiful 'bouquet' delivery, lovely lunch, a walk-in flower dome, and finished up with watching beauty and the beast, all my favorites in one day! *died from sweetness indulgence* 

all thanks to this amazing man who put so much effort to learn my love language <3

a year+ ago, i quit my nine-to-five job to pursue what i like. it means less income, a happier soul. tough but still the best decision ever.

more artwork on my instagram @marisawij , follow if you want :)

painting abstract art gives me the absolute freedom to be myself and explore endless techniques but illustration grounds me and keeps me calm :)

below: personal bridesmaid cards i made for the two special girls <3

others bits and bops :

so,  how have you been? share with me in the comment!

Life updates! I love writing updates, its like writing a diary all over again. The past month has been very good, i finally get to sleep until noon, it sooo gooood, but my sleeping pattern at night is a bit off though, need to fix this issue soon! I have a lot of favorite moments, some of them are; going to the art exhibition (post here), my print fabric finally came out, fun ministries, hanging out with my friends, Skype with the two of my fav guys, and soooo on. But, what is life without a little bit of lemon? 

I realized i really enjoy meeting new people and make friends but what i constantly unaware is sometimes people can turn out to be someone we wish they'd never be. It's a sweet reminder that nobody's perfect, not even those people we look up to or admire the most. They're an imperfect human being just like we all are, they may hurt or disappoint us. But hey, when life gives us a lemon, we know what to do. Yeap, make lemonade! I love the fact that this situation is actually the perfect chance for us to be more forgiving and accepting. Regardless of what people do to us, we can always choose to bless them, still honor and love them. I know its easier said than done, but I've been there before and I'm about to do it again, one thing that i know is my flesh may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever (Psalm 73:25-26) therefore, i know with Him, i can do it! <3
