Day 168 Rebirth & Reclaim


As I haven’t got the verdict yet for ending my relationship with Monsieur Thesis, I can’t justify changing the heading of the blog and leaving him behind once and for all. Not just yet. On the other hand I’ve been asked if what I write is all about him or not. Well, I hardly write about him any more apart from those little comments stirred by the past in somewhat small but still mentionable quality like the one today. His presence is all about looking into the future now and the beauty of moving on.
I’ve been torn lately about Vondores, the ideas and the constant waiting which gets me out of my upbeat idea of dynamics and leaves those hunting questions to chew on in a dark corner on a haystack soaked in self-pity when? When will the time come when I can finally spend a few days on it and start working on the prototypes? Well, the question was very simply answered in the last couple of days. Never, as long as I don’t take responsibility and ownership over the brand to dedicate time to it. While I find everything else more important to please people, to make ends meet, to serve the church Vondores is left like an unfed baby, weak and miserable. I just can’t do that to her any more. It’s a sin.
Therefore I had to make a decision while I have been sprinkled with this peculiar kind of exhaustion over the past few days: I need to make time for Vondores no matter what. Otherwise no matter how many photographer and magazine ask to have a look at my new collection I am stuffed. It is time to take the Sarong Collection forward, the signature Vondores product.
Why is that we don’t make time for the things we really feel passionate about and spend ages on those that exhaust us?
What kind of false identity created that distorted image of importance?
And who is to blame? The one who takes on jobs and responsibilities she to be able to top up the electricity and goes around in circles like a dog chasing its tale kicking and screaming that there is not time to stop?
