My heart 🥹🥰

[Adelene Joanne @adelenejf]

Did I just call almost every single @Sephora outlet in KL and the 2 in Penang to ask if they have stock of the items I need cos they’re not available online and there’s a sale going on? Yes.

Am I crazy? Maybe.

But will I do what I have to to get what I need? Absolutely.

Getting a compliment from a gay Sephora beauty advisor on your complexion is by far a top tier compliment. Period. 🥲🙈

Ok seriously tho. The number of guys that I have seen on the dating apps in the past year and then now on some mutual friends social media fees GETTING MARRIED is worrying.

[Adelene Joanne @adelenejf]

Hearing the words “you mean the world to me” 🥺😍😭

[Adelene Joanne @adelenejf]

Yeah they may not have been perfect parent or given you the perfect life. And they may have hurt you. But they’re still your father/mother.
If you don’t do it for them, do it for you. Cos 1.5 years later, done with housemanship, and I’m still here, regretting, but to no avail.

My dad passed away 7 months into Housemanship.
1st posting - surgical. I was VERY tired. I never went out. I never spoke to anyone. I blamed it on work.
Then, 2nd posting - medical. I was right in the middle. Still busy, but getting a hang of it and liking my job a lil bit more

[Adelene Joanne @adelenejf]

Cos there’s always another time right? No. He passed at the end of that weekend. And the last I saw him was the Christmas before that. He passed in March.
All I’m saying is, make that phone call, tired. Go visit them, tired.

We chose sleep over going out last night.
Made it to the gym this morning.
And getting some work in.
Need. To. Keep. Pushing.

Vulnerability is beautiful.
My therapist shared that she had to give a few keynote speeches at an international conference, and she herself had imposter syndrome, cried in her hotel room some nights.
I’m not ‘happy’ she’s going thru that.
But it’s nice to know we’re all human.

[Adelene Joanne @adelenejf]

I mean like, if we saved up all the money and used it on therapy instead of getting tatts, I mean, it would be good… but like what’s the fun in that 🫢

[Adelene Joanne @adelenejf]

I’m now comfortable abt my mental health status with my family (even if it’s not great). I’ll say things like:
“We have relatives coming over? I don’t have enough energy to socialise anymore today”
Or just joke abt it (not in a coping mechanism way but just to break the taboo)

Selena Gomez shares new Instagram story about becoming a meme online:

“I will never be a meme again. I’d rather sit still than be dragged for being myself. Much love”

[Adelene Joanne @adelenejf]

also probably cos I was PISSED that he disturbed me while I was asleep, and anyone who knows me knows that they SHOULD NEVER call me while I’m asleep

[Adelene Joanne @adelenejf]

he called me at 2am, asking if we could meet soon, or on Friday night
and for the first time in my life, my answer wasn’t “I’ll think about it” or “we’ll talk about it tomorrow”
instead I replied: No. I’m not going out with you anymore
and that, my friends, is GROWTH

[Adelene Joanne @adelenejf]

Omg. Am I like done with Housemanship?! How in the world did that happen?

[Adelene Joanne @adelenejf]

This makeup look hit different.
