Sunday Morning Musings & The Narrative Hunt
Okay, so good morning, good morning! It’s Sunday, September 7th, 2025, just a little past 9 AM here in LA. The sun is already doing its thing, streaming through my window, and I’m currently curled up on my bed with my first (of many, let’s be real) coffee of the day.
It’s been almost 24 hours since my last post, and honestly, that "narrative" comment from my prof has been living rent-free in my head. Like, all day yesterday, while I was trying to decompress from the week, grabbing brunch with Chloe, and then spending way too long on Netflix (hello, new season of Heartstopper!), it was just… there. Haunting me.
It’s funny, when I started this blog, I really just thought it would be a place to dump my thoughts, share my fashion inspo, and maybe complain about dating. Super chill, right? But then that comment hit, and suddenly, it’s like this whole thing popped up. This idea of a "narrative."
And I’ve been thinking, maybe that’s what this whole "Genesis" stage is about for me. It’s not just starting the blog, it’s about actively looking for the story. Like, I know I’m passionate about fashion, but why? Is it just about making pretty clothes, or is there something deeper I want to say with my designs? And my friendships, my yoga, even my terrible dating track record – how do all these pieces fit into the bigger picture of who Mandy is becoming?
It feels a little overwhelming, to be honest. Like, how do you even find your narrative when you’re still figuring out what you want for breakfast sometimes? But at the same time, it’s kinda exciting. It’s like I’m on a treasure hunt, and the treasure is… me? Lol, that sounds so cheesy, but you get what I mean.
So yeah, Sunday morning, coffee in hand, still on the hunt for my clear narrative. Maybe it’s not something you just find one day, but something you build, piece by piece. And this blog, this little corner of the internet, is going to be where I try to stitch it all together. Wish me luck on this very personal design project! ✨
