I’m starting to feel dizzy and sick to my stomach…
I did eat enough and I am drinking enough water, and I probably didn’t sleep enough, but still not little enough to warrant such a thing.
What is happening to me?!
EDIT: Also, all of a sudden, I feel like crying. This is very weird.
And before anyone asks: No, I’m 100% not pregnant. I’d have to be the Virgin Mary for that to happen.

I actually spent a great deal of the afternoon reading - almost four hours I’d say. I haven’t been able to read for such extended periods of time in months, if not even over a year…and God, I’ve missed it. Just being curled up with a nice hot beverage, something auditory to match my reading (in this case, it was rain against a window), a blanket, and immersing myself completely into the story.
It’s now 01:50 am, and I need to be up at 6 am…but I’m nearly done with my book, and I know I couldn’t sleep anyways because I desperately wanna know the ending. I’ll compensate with a nap after work.
Next I wanna read something spooky…I think I’ve got Crimson Peak as an e-book? I certainly have the physical copy; I’ll think about it.
Or maybe even The Woman In Black.

This photoshoot is dedicated to all the South Asian women out there who are often underrepresented in media simply because the color of their skin doesn’t fit South Asia’s unreasonable, fair&lovely, eurocentric beauty standards. As we all know, colorism is huge in India and Pakistan. Our society has come to the point where people talk about fighting oppression and uplifting women, but no one actually does anything about it. In this photoshoot I wanted to help represent darker skinned girls in the media, and address an issue through fashion photography.
Little girls grow up with their mothers bantering them about their skin color and how a man would never want them because they’re too dark. This does not help a girl’s self confidence, and it’s important to teach them from a young age that they’re beautiful and worthy in order to prevent them from being a self conscious teen. It’s also important to teach other girls that are lighter skinned to support these girls. In high school, a South Asian boy my friend had a crush on said that she was “too dark” and basically implied that’s the reason why he wouldn’t want a relationship with her. Comments like these are what destroy girl’s self confidence, especially when they’re young, vulnerable and lost. Support and help your sisters!
With the rise of young South Asians taking their pride in jewelry and colorful clothes to Instagram, it’s important not to romanticize the culture. Every culture has it’s good and bad, and although it’s totally fine to appreciate and be grateful for the good, we shouldn’t be silent about the bad especially if we are privileged. While our own South Asians are constantly romanticizing our culture, but not acknowledging it’s dirty laundry they are also promoting social marginalization. Women are treated horribly, LGBTQ isn’t a thing (especially in Pakistan), and more of our afro-south asian brothers and sisters are murdered on the streets the longer we stay silent. Instead of bringing light to these issues, our culture keeps quiet.

My freshly dyed black hair (with horrible office lighting) on the left, versus my natural hair colour on the right (pic I took at home when I got my new glasses around June/July-ish).
The difference is much more pronounced in person.
I missed having black hair.

So.
I wanna get the weekend off (meaning Thursday to Sunday), which is doable with my schedule. I just don’t know how. I need to cram 20 hours worth of work into three days - but how?
Eight hours today, six hours tomorrow, six hours on Wednesday?
Six hours today, six tomorrow, eight on Wednesday?
Eight today, eight tomorrow, four on Wednesday?
The last one seems to be the most efficient one…ugh, this is difficult. I just need a few days off but I don’t wanna use up my spare holiday time. Those days will probably come in handy mid-december.
i know I complain about work a lot, but I’m very well aware that it will be a pain to find a new one that easily as soon as my contract runs out in January, and this flexible schedule is an absolute blessing.
(If only the boss were better.)
EDIT: Chose the last option. long weekend ahoy!
