May the Fourth Be With You




"He Wears It- Star Wars & Fashion" || An illustration project by Hong Kong artist, John Woo

Bonjour, mes amis!

Geek Alert: I could never pass up a brilliant Star Wars reference. Just like how others love referring to Nsync near the end of April 'cause "IT'S GONNA BE MAY." It never gets old for us '90s kids.

But anyway, Happy Star Wars Day! The concept above of Star Wars meets runway is pretty rad. It may rub diehards the wrong way, but we should never really take anything too seriously. One day I will have a Star Wars party. And also take part in free comic book day. It has to happen. How is it that I'm always busy on those days every year? The universe is against me.

This is also the perfect day to spread some positivity around. I'll get to the peanut butter some other day... I really wish I could just hug all of you and whisper dramatically in your ears "May the Force be with you." We all face challenges every day, ranging from a scale of minute to immense, and a little encouragement and good wishing may be just the boost we need. Even if you're not facing a challenge, the Force can and should always be strong within you. TWENTY-FOUR/ SEVEN, YO. Take on each day with strength, confidence, good will, and so much more. Anything is possible if you work hard. Don't waste your wonderful, wonderful potentials.

I don't want to be a cheeseball, but it's helpful to read or hear motivating words. Say adieu to Negative Nancy. It's even more encouraging when a positive message is paired with music. It gives it that extra oomph. There are many songs out there that give out good vibes. Lately, one song has really stuck out to me.

AWOLNATION // Kill Your Heroes



They've created such a cute and funny music video for this song. I've been digging them so much. Based on my interpretation, this song is about living your life the way you want to, and not letting your fear hold you back. I actually appreciate that the message is not sugar-coated. They're saying that we're all going to die and some things are inevitably out of our control anyway, so we might as well cease our worries and live life to the max. Don't live vicariously through your heroes' lives- be your own hero. You don't need to live up to other people's standards. Make yourself happy.

What are some songs that encourage you?
