it's been 1 week since i (re)started. and what i realized is that...
how i put nail polish is much like how i should go about with life.
in painting my hands i had to do it: one finger at a time. one color at a time. one layer at a time. it was always one at a time. i could not do them all at once. moreover i had to do them carefully and patiently. i had to take each finger seriously because that's how you complete the look--- all fingers should look the same even though their different. it's kinda vague, but what i mean is that nothing should be off so that the look of your nails is uniform and pleasing to the eyes.
and while doing it, it really made me appreciate the virtue of patience and the value of being patience. each time i paint a finger, i have to let it dry first before i put on the next coating. i have to wait about 5-10 minutes or more so that the coat can dry properly. and sure, 5-10 minutes doesn't seem that long, but sometimes it can seem forever for me... (i am a bit impatient.hihihi) but then i realized that impatience only works for the worst of me, because in order for me to get that really stunning and smooth polished nails--- i have to wait for the paint to properly dry so that when i put on the next coating, the nail polish would be harder and would not behave like clay (like when it gets too think and does not dry properly)...
and... i realized that.. sometimes i could be so over the top because i want a lot of things and i want to do a lot of things... but sometimes the answer to my impatience problem is just right infront of me (my fingers) HAHAHAHA.
because... all i have to do when my priorities confuse me is PRIORITIZE and evaluate which 'finger' should i 'paint' first. i can't do them all at once... so i should choose and do it all but one at a time.
