Một tối đang nằm lướt facebook, Chi bắt gặp bài đăng thông báo giải Femina 2020 cho tác phẩm nước ngoài được trao cho 2 tác phẩm của tác giả Deborah Levy, một trong 2 cuốn đó chính là ‘The cost of living’. Thế là Chi đi đọc em nó, chẳng nghĩ ngợi gì nhiều.
Như anh em có thể đã biết, em này là một #workingautobiography, nằm cùng series ‘Living Autobiography’ với ‘Things I don’t want to know’ đã rất nổi tiếng.
Cuốn sách mở đầu bằng một câu chuyện khá mơ hồ, dù thế cũng không khiến người đọc cảm thấy lạ lẫm hay khó bắt nhịp. Mình đã rất ấn tượng với những câu từ của câu chuyện đầu tiên, rằng 「…if we want a happy ending, it depends on where we stop the story.」Tới phần thứ ba, cũng chính là câu chuyện thứ 3, mọi thứ bắt nhịp với thực tế, cũng là lúc tác giả kể lại những trải nghiệm thực sự của cuộc đời bà. Ly hôn, chuyển nhà, cho tới những ngày tháng ở chái nhà bà tới chỉ để sáng tác cùng những chuyến gặp gỡ đối tác, độc giả và đọc các phẩm của bản thân, mọi thứ đều được tác giả tái hiện lại một cách chân thực. Tuy gần như không có một chút gì hư cấu, lời kể của bà luôn pha một chút châm biếm và hài hước nhẹ nhàng. Ngay cả trong những khoảnh khắc có vẻ buồn bã hoài niệm như khi bà nhớ lại về mẹ, từng lát cắt cuộc sống vẫn đem lại một cảm giác cuốn hút và cũng đầy ngẫm ngợi.
Mình khá thích những hình ảnh mang tính biểu tượng được tác giả sử dụng trong mỗi phần. Những cơn mưa, những quả táo rơi xuống mái của chái nhà vườn nơi bà ngồi sáng tác, từng trái cây lăn xuống mặt đường,..mọi thứ đều giản đơn nhưng lại ấn tượng vô cùng.
Chung lại thì em nó là một cuốn rất lôi cuốn và đáng thử, dù hoàn toàn không có chút giật gân hồi hộp nào cả. Sau cuốn này Chi nhất định sẽ đọc tiếp các cuốn khác cùng tác giả, thật là vui khi lại tìm được thêm một tác giả với nhiều cuốn hứa hẹn như thế này.

「After a while I asked her where she was heading.
It turned out that she was going to have breakfast with her friend Nisha, who happened to be a photographer.
‘We’re broke so we order one full English. Nisha takes the bacon, sausage and one egg, I take the mushrooms, tomato and the other egg, we share the beans and hash potato.’
‘That sounds like a good arrangement,’ I said, ‘but isn’t the hash potato American?’
‘Yeah, it’s a full English with a special relationship with America. But to be honest I prefer a hash brownie to a hash potato.’
We wished each other a good day and I made my way down the hill to my writing shed.
The shed was winterized. It was now warm. I had laid down two kelim rugs on the floor, but I had no desire to domesticate my workspace. So far, apart from ten books, my computer and various journals, there was not much else in my shed.
A candle in the shape of a cactus.
The ashes of Daisy the Dog of Peace.
A Mexican mirror framed with small ceramic tiles.
A blue wooden chair.
A green writing chair covered in two sheepskins.
The freezer.
A long lamp with a concrete circular base and a silver-tipped bulb.
A green and yellow striped umbrella.
A packet of nuts and raisins.
A radio.」

What are the perks of working from home to you?
For me, three of them are:
1. The only commuting required is from bed to the living room (my workspace), which means no traffic 🚗❌
2. Save money on makeup (do you feel me, ladies?) and laundry 😄
3. More time to workout 🏋️♀️(you can even do it in the middle of the day!)
This picture is edited with #olapresets. Good news! I’m going to give one of my presets to you soon (countdown on my story)! 😍

Yes, this is a cover! It may seem a little out of the blue for a lot of ya'll but fun fact - my channel actually started out with covers! They've since been set to private so you'll have no luck finding them, but music has always been such a big part of my life. Making music and singing throughout my upper sec days was pretty much the most effective (and at times, the only) way to cope with my anxiety, because it forces me to breathe.
I knowwwww, can't tell right? It goes to show how much more we need to be open and comfortable with mental health and self-care!
I'll pick this up in another video, but I'm at the point in my life where I have accepted that, like everyone else, my brain is wired a certain way, and have grown comfortable enough in my own skin to be able to acknowledge, address and manage it. It took a while, but I'm very proud to say that I'm doing the best I ever have, and I've never felt this calm, confident and happy for so long in my entire life.
I've always, always wanted to address "touchy" issues like mental health (amongst others), but the stigma and the pity and whatever else comes along with revealing our vulnerabilities has always made me think twice. Also, ngl, I've been busy and prioritising other (i.e. the more fun) videos. But it's 2018 and I'm way past my teenage insecurities. I have many important things I want to share and discuss with you guys, so that's exactly what I'm going to do! I don't know how often I will be able to make these videos considering I usually can only afford to make one per week, but do you remember the think tank videos we've discussed about before (I think it was one of the GRWMs)? I've had topics and talking points all planned out over 2017, but never actually got around to them. It's happening this year. (Let me know if you guys have anything on your minds you'd like to talk about in the comments below btw!)
Anyway, what prompted my decision was this - since my return, I've been feeling very suffocated by my possessions. Moving back with all of my things from New York into my already overflowing room (because I also moved back from staying on campus before I left) was just too much. I started feeling my anxiety creep back every time I look at my piles of stuff, so I've taken the time to clean, pack, declutter and reinvent my entire room for a fresh start. It. Felt. AWESOME. My room has always been my sanctuary + bubble + fun workspace and I'm so happy that it's not only restored, but improved and streamlined into an organised conglomerate of my favourite things. It's also led to the revival of my past hobbies, like knitting, music, painting etc. I feel so energised and inspired now! This incited an insatiable itch to pick everything back up and just do them for the heck of it. I don't care so much if they're productive, or "useful" or not, because time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
Till next time, keep that heart full ya'll xoxoxoxoxoxoxoluvuforeva
