hey guys x
I just thought would have a little chit chat about what I have been up to on my revenge week.
What is a revenge life?
A revenge life is when you create a life for yourself in revenge for people mistreating you. This is what you create for yourself after a break up, bullying or just like people doubting you. My revenge life is sort of in reaction to teachers who thought I was stupid. Have you ever just thought, 'if only they could see me now'? It is not about getting literal revenge, it is about proving people wrong and improving yourself. I starting thinking about revenge life after watching the Khloe Kardashian show 'revenge body'. At the end of this blogpost I have also left some other revenge terminology.
Self-Improvement
This blogpost was sort of meant to be better but I had a really busy week. I did manage to squeeze some self-improvement activities in though. I got my haircut, admittedly it is not quite what I asked for because the hairdresser had a bit of a crisis of confidence but it does actually look really cute and I love the way she styled it. She advised me that I should get a curling wand, so I have just purchased one online and I am so excited for it to arrive. I did have a curling wand but I gave it back to my sister because it was too chunky for like my short hair. So yeah I purchased a slimmer one. Ahh I am so excited. I feel like I hardly ever treat myself to girly things like make up and hair products.
This week I also went to a meditation and talk for heartbreak at the Hare Krishna centre. Yeah I went through a bit of heartbreak at the start of the week but luckily I have bounced back quite quickly. The man who hosted the talk was a very funny German man, really reminded me of my sisters German friends- so so funny. But yeah it was kind of fun to do something a bit random. Yeah they were so friendly.
Book Haul
I do not know if we like the books hauls I do on my blog, but no one ever speak up and tells me. Also, I have something to say about a few of them. Anyway from left to right
The Artist's Way (1992)- This is a self-help book/ course for creativity. I read it over two years ago and despite not finishing it at the time it left a big impression and lasting impact on me. It gave me the encouragement to blog. The book is a guided course to recover your inner artist and just be more confident in your creativity. You do not have to have a medium to gain something from this book. I am reading it for a second time to complete it this time. I have two on my shelf because one is a late Christmas present for someone.
The Catcher in the Rye (1951)- I loved this book when I was a child. I think its a very youthful and spirited text. Anyway, I got this book for the same person I got the previous, I thought this was a really pretty version of it (my one is really ugly).
Franny and Zoey (1961)- J D Salinger was someone I was really trying to channel during lockdown because apparently he was a recluse, but I think the media always say that. Anyway I thought I would pick up this book as I saw on Instagram a glowing review of it. It looks a short read as well which is good.
The Strange Case of Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde (1886)- I have to read this and the next two for my course but yeah I am really excited. I think I said ages ago that I went to a performance of this with my uni and I fell asleep. So I am not exactly looking forward to reading this. I had no idea what was going on in the play.
The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890)- I am so excited to read this. I did The Importance of Being Earnest at Alevel and its very fun. So yeah totally excited to read this book.
Wuthering Heights(1847)- I am not totally looking forward to reading this because I did attempt to read this a very long time ago and I found it sooo difficult to read like I had not a clue what was going on. Ugh such a drag.
The Death of Marco Pantani (2006)- I watched a documentary about him years ago and totally fell in love with his energy. Pantani is a man I am channelling in 2022. Pantani was a cyclist who won the Tour De France in 1998. He was a drug cheat but he was so effervescent. So yeah I am going to give this book a try but according to my sister it is actually a really difficult read.
Revenge Terminology
Revenge Wardrobe: This is a wardrobe you create for yourself to get revenge on people. It is characterised by stylish, confident and outfits that are you.
Revenge Weekend/ Week: This is a weekend or week dedicated to self improvement activities. This could be building your revenge wardrobe or meeting up with friends. The most important thing is that your week is fun!
Revenge Field Trip: A Revenge Field Trip is a normally a trip you take to become more cultured. Maybe you go to an art gallery or museum. Maybe you visit a new place for the day. The focus is becoming more cultured and gaining info for your new revenge life.
Revenge Holiday: This is normally a holiday taken in solitude. You might be taking a revenge holiday to process a break up of a relationship or friendship. Normally you will dedicate to becoming more cultured, reading books and indulging (shopping, eating and pampering).
what else? basically just put 'revenge' in front of anything and it will work because this is about having fun. Just to emphasis it is not about literal revenge pls don't get literal revenge. Obviously you have the 'revenge dress' which does not need an explanation.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this blogpost! I definitely want to do like self-improvement blogposts.
au revoir x
