Strikhedonia: the pleasure of being able to say 'to hell with it'

I'm still not getting used to my new hairstyle. I still grab the shower cab. When I go to sleep, I still want to braid it. It must be such a silly view when I'm in the bus untangling non existing hair.

I discovered that I used my hair as my greatest 'accessoire'. But it may sound silly, but I don't miss it.

I only miss the 'color changes'.

So maybe I will buy a few wigs in the future, just to dye it with fancy colors.

About my outfit...
I tried to create this weird feminine/masculine look.

It's not the style of clothes I used to wear.  But now, I have the feeling that I can't be too 'fairy-ish', otherwise it just looks weird (believe me, it looks weird).

Shaved head

I finally shaved my head!
It's been one of the most liberating things I ever did in my life, I felt like I could truly do anything. I could just start over.

Femininity doesn't depend on pure physical appearance, it goes far beyond that. 

Alphamegamia

 Alphamegamia: The marriage between a young woman and an older man. 

Today was such a lovely day. I just went to the city for some vegan noodles time, and I came across these bird statues in the train station (Antwerp Central). The entire station was filled with these bird like statues. 
Suddenly I remembered why people that are not from this city are astonished by this station. 

I mean...just look at this magnificent architecture. 

Sometimes I'm so happy I live in this city. 

Viraginity

Viraginity: Masculine qualities in a woman 

Because childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.

To be grown up is to sit at the table with people who have died,
who neither listen nor speak;
Who do not drink their tea, though they always said
Tea was such a comfort.

House Tyrell of Highgarden

House Tyrell of Highgarden is one of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms, overlords over the Reach. A large, wealthy house, its wealth is only surpassed among the Great Houses by House Lannister, and the Tyrells can field the greatest armies. Additionally, if they call the fleets of their bannermen the Redwynes, the lords of the Shield Islands, and the coastal lords, they can command a navy that equals if not surpasses the royal fleet. Highgarden is an ancient seat of rule and the heart of chivalry in the Seven Kingdoms; the Tyrells style themselves 'Defenders of the Marches' and 'High Marshals of the Reach', and traditionally, they have been Wardens of the South. Their sigil is a golden rose on a green field, and their words are "Growing Strong."  (http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/House_Tyrell)

So I finally decided to leave my bed...

So my new look was inspired by one of the Great houses in the amazing book series 'A song of ice and fire' mostly known as 'Game of thrones'. 

I'm more of a 'Targaryen' girl, but I must admit... the Queen of Thorns is also growing strong in my heart. 

Just for showing the love I putted on an semi transparent dress with rose/flower details with a nice flower headpiece I once bought on a festival in my village. 

 

Vegan Bacon

I'm already 11 years long a vegetarian, and 1 year ago I started experimenting with veganisme.

Probably because of the word 'experimenting', a few vegans will be offended, but here in Belgium 'veganisme' isn't that 'known' and their are not so many stores in my little village that sell vegan stuff.

After a few months I already found some things, and of these amazing products is 'VEGAN BACON'.

Since my fifth year of the vegetarian life I was craving for salty snacks... and sometimes when I smelled bacon  I thought: 'I must find vegi/vegan bacon', and after a few years I finally found it.

It's very funny that I don't remember the taste or the texture of bacon, but one of the biggest carnivores I know tasted it and told me it's kinda the same. So yeah, I'm pretty happy!!!

Nelipot

Nelipot: someone who walks without shoes. 

Sometimes I have these days that I just want to stay in bed. I really must convince myself to take a shower and eat something... and afterwards I just pull on some oversized sweater, short shorts and socks.

It's actually a waste because I end up in bed anyway. 

One of my colleagues helped me getting this sweater. In the shop (I work at Urban Outfitters Antwerp) I'm known as a 'die-hard' unicorn lover. Every time there is something unicorn'ish in the shop... I can't resist myself. It's a strange addiction.

So a colleague saw the sweater online and helped me order it, and now I'm the proud owner of this oversized warm sweater!!!! The socks are from American Apparel... they have the most awesome socks (and clothes)!!! 

And it's just like I said... I'm just editing these pictures in my bed with a nice cup of agave-tea. Later on I will just read a book. I'm almost finished with the 'A song of ice and fire' series. So I will probably start with Siddhartha written by Hermann Hesse (after a few hours).

And I end up in bed.
