难得简单


一觉醒来,忽然觉得,做人简单就好。
心想,天啊,这是哪来的感触。
再想想,如果身边的朋友还是家人听到我说这些话,他们应该会想一巴掌盖下去吧,心想“小孩子,懂什么做人。” “真的吗?你确定?" "世界那么复杂怎么可能简单?" 
我想,可能是因为,现在的我,就有现在的简单吧。

何为简单?

21岁的简单就是,想笑就笑,想哭就哭,饿了就吃,渴了就饮, 困了就睡,对我来说,这就是简单。

就拿吃东西来说,东西可以入口,对我来说,就是好吃。你可以说我不会吃,但我把那称之为简单。
好吃就是好吃,不好吃就是不好吃,就那么简单。不需要去探讨里面的细腻味道,因为我很简单。(除非我要做食神)

一班朋友要去玩,大家都很多意见,这个时候,每个人都说出自己想要去的地方,互不退让,那么,到最后就去不成了,总有人要退让,总有人要容忍,那么为什么自己不能是 “总有人”。简单一些,就好。以前的我,肯定不会让。

说起以前,以前自己还算是挺复杂的,很多事情都会胡思乱想,很悲观,很偏激,很复杂。
可能现在也会。

 人终究会改变,一个人要改变可以很快,快得简单。3年可以改变,3个月可以改变,甚至是三天,三小时,三分钟也足以让一个人改变。 朋友问我现在追求的是什么,有一个我,会回答像什么事业有成,家庭美满,拥有财富之类的,另一个我会说:让自己内心平静踏实,让生活简单就好。

朋友说:那两个我简直是反义词。

很矛盾,太矛盾。仔细想想,可不可以,追求事业有成时,生活简单?可不可以有着伟大的梦想的同时,生活简单?两者可以同时存在吗?

说说现在,我觉得我现在的生活挺好,有时候狂放不羁、不切实际、安逸奢侈,有时候就像我 打这篇文章的今天,简单平实、生活滋味、有种不过问世俗的感觉(暗笑). 不经意的,就证明了那个反义词的我,是可以把两者都诠释得不俗的。

何乐而不为呢。

有的时候,21岁的世界里,有着奢华、刺激、激情,感觉起来似乎和简单扯不上关系。

难道,21岁里,简单,真的难得吗?

这个时候的我们开始接受充满挑战世界,新奇新鲜的人事物,人与人之间的互动,总感觉少了那丁点儿人情味,每个人都是为了自己,也不能怪,有谁,不呢?这个时候,我们刚开始看得懂人心,虽然不是很厉害的那种读心神探,可是至少懂得谁是谁非,我们开始接受现实,不再是那个充满童真的小孩,虽然偶尔会怀念,可是那终究只是怀念,回不去了。
回不去的简单,迎接的是复杂的未来。

我绝对不是第一个发现这件事的人,那就是,人与人的关系很简单,利益把它变复杂.
一堆糖果,大家都不会在意糖果本身有多少,而是在意自己手上有多少; 一份功课,人们不会在意这份功课的事儿有多少,而是在意自己干了多少。人啊。

记得以前,我们没有任何名利的色彩,没有任何目的诉求,我们有的,只是那颗随心所欲的心。

在一个复杂的城市生活着,感觉简单是种妄想,简单,很难得。

可是,堆积再多的复杂,也不要让心里那一点的简单离去。
千万不要。

虽然复杂,可是世界依然美好
今天杂饭店老板算得便宜些,好朋友找到生命挚爱,考试成绩理想,今天搭地铁不用排队,这样想,生活就可以很简单。很多事情就会顺其自然,安于内心,你就会发现,好心情离你并不远。

我如何让自己变得简单?学习沉默以对吧。
对不喜欢的人沉默,对不喜欢的事儿沉默,沉默不是逃避,它是一种生活态度,一个让我变得简单的态度。

我想,在每个人的心中,多少都会有一种对“简单从容平淡”的向往,所以,何必让一切在自己眼中变得这么复杂?

我想要的生活,很简单,就这么简单。

简单也是种快乐。就算没那么一个人可以和你共同分享分担,也真的无所谓。简不简单都是自己控制的,你想要它简单,它就会简单。

做一个简单的人,多好。简单,再简单,然后再简单。

可是,现在,
究竟是简单难得,
还是难得简单。

生活不只是爱情,吧。


情人节这天,看着一对一对的情侣在那里骄傲着自己的爱情,不禁在想,如果每个人都会有一个人,那么这个人,在哪里?在做什么?他/她是不是也在等待着自己?又或许,没有这个人?

如果按照纯理性的思维去解释,爱情应该算是化学反应吧。当你寂寞,这个化学反应就会释放你压抑已久的心,我们称之为,爱情。什么时候,在我的生活中,在大家的生活中,这个化学反应,就好像成了必需品呢?为什么我们一定要这个化学反应?可能你会想,我因为没有伴侣,才可以说得那么果断明了,其实你也对了一半,因为另一半的是,我决定把那个化学反应给忽视。

小学,中学,到大学,身边的朋友,总会有谈恋爱的。总会有人会花大量的时间陪着自己喜欢的人。说真的,看着他们甜蜜,心里难免有羡慕,但是自己却不想置身其中。我总觉得,生活还有很多事情要完成,除了爱情,还有很多。常被问,为什么不恋爱,来来去去的回答都是 “没人追”,“没有喜欢的人”,“我不够美,不够好”,然而有时真的想回答,“为什么我要谈恋爱?” 因为,人们都把爱情当成是必需品了,对吧。无意间发现一句话,“林中有两条路,你永远只能选一条,然后怀念另一条。” 我想,如果林中代表这爱情,那我应该是后者了吧。

其实想想,生活,不一定需要爱情。我们要完成的事情,还有很多很多,每个人,都有自己的责任,自己的义务。仔细想,谈恋爱,就变成是一件奢侈的事了。如果你为自己的人生编排个时间表,想一想自己的理想,你会发现,你有很多很多,想要完成的事情,除了爱情。拿谈恋爱的时间来读一本书,去一场旅行,也可以很快乐。

我有些朋友总是盲目的寻找自己喜欢的人,换了,又换,但最后,还是自己一个人。他们不怕爱,他们必须要爱。我佩服他们的勇敢,我也佩服他们那满满可以爱人的欲望。追求爱本是好事,但不可以沉迷,不可以强求。顺其自然为好。怎么那么耐不住寂寞呢,为了盲目追求那化学反应,浪费了自己的人生,自己的目标。你有想过,你的人生真的只有爱情吗?家人,朋友,事业,为什么其中之一就不能成为你生活的必须品呢?其实,也对,住着宽敞又舒适的房子,和父母环游世界,朋友的疯狂,自己的自由,都比不上,当你有事情的后,有一个人会在你身边安慰你,不离不弃,生病时照顾你,来得好,对吧。我明白的。

说穿了,每个人都向往爱情,我也不列外,当爱情来了,谁又能说我舍不得寂寞,只是,我老觉得自己没准备好。如果遇到有感觉的,也不会像以前那么激动,因为我清楚,两三天后,那种感觉就会消失,到那时,之前有感觉的那个他,也只是一个普通人吧了。也许因为自己太过理智,所以不轻易触碰爱情,曾经的为这东西不离不弃,觉得是必需品的自己,渐渐的,不再容易心动,也没有最初怦然心动的感觉了。仔细想想,或许是因为,我根本就没有吧,真是个禽兽不如的家伙。

NYX Natural Palette Review | Xuan-Diaries

 Hello awesome peeps! I am back to my lovely blog and this time I'm with the NYX Natural Palette !
As you know (or don't know, whatever.....), I am a makeup lover,and since I was 17 years old, I have always loved makeup but I got really interested in it after I entered college.
I was also inspired by my friend, Kymberley , whom is a makeup enthusiast, which only increased my love for makeup til now.
She also do have a Youtube Channel, I will link it at the end of the post, make sure you subscribe because her video is awesome!

Okay so back to the topic, I purchased something from Sephora!
I love to go Sephora and try out new makeup products and I always love the NYX counter because NYX products is always affordable and nice.

So this time, I bought the NYX Natural Palette! 
I always want to try out this palette because I don't do heavy makeup everyday, natural makeup is my kind a thing and almost all the eye shadow colors that I used is more to neutral color.
AND I LOVE NEUTRAL COLOR EYE SHADOW, I AM OBSESSED WITH IT!
So I am willing to give it a try! 


Price: RM36
Availability: Sephora 
Color: 6 Colors (Matte milky White,  Shimmery champagne Gold, Peachy Nude, Shimmery Beige, Purple-ish Silver and Dark Espresso ) 
Packaging: 7/10

 First of all, this is a nice palette for traveling, all the color are user friendly, some of the color are quite disappointed after I swatch it, because is not pigmented and buttery at all, I almost see nothing when I applied Peachy Nude  Shimmery Beige on my eyelid.  The color doesn't pay off very well, the only pigmented color is Dark Espresso.

But for a No Makeup Makeup look, this is definitely a good palette because all the colors are close to the skin tone and you can create a lot of look for the 6 colors.  

The packing seems fine for me but I don't really like it because it doesn't have a mirror. A palette without a mirror is always consider a "not so good" palette for me.  


 For this Review, I film a tutorial for you guys, and from the video you can see that what I mentioned about the color payoff is true.
