Song of the month: Soft Place To Land by Sara Barielles
I’m gonna start this post by saying at the time of writing this I’ve just woken up from a boss nap having consumed far too much gin and chocolate because Easter. Yes. So good.
Despite this being a much quieter month for me, the good vibes from February have thankfully carried through into March. I’m still chugging along nicely in my house, I managed to skilfully bypass a cold and got back on track – kinda – with blogging and life. The slow start to Spring has been a welcome change of pace. It also helps that I’m currently taking a welcome break from work for two weeks, the first few days of which have been spent hibernating at my parent’s house away from adult responsibilities and the 9 to 5.
I’ve been using the past few days to really relax back into writing and blogging. The familiarity of my old bedroom and comfort of my old blogging spot (the top left hand corner of my bed with a cup of coffee fyi) seems to have flipped a switch in my brain to reinvigorate my need to create. It’s a nice feeling to be honest. My mind and body have been in serious need of a recharge and I’m trying to hold onto it as much as possible right now, especially as March almost always a calm before the storm/upcoming madness of April. This year will be no exception to that madness as I’ll be spending the first week of it my home away from home, New York, shifting about job roles at work, and of course my 24th birthday towards the end of it.
I’ve got a lot of good coming up but sometimes it’s hard to justify this feeling alongside all the awful in the world right now. It’s frustrating and saddening that some of us can’t do more to ease the hurt in light of recent events in Brussels and Lahore. I’m a true believer there is still good in the world, it’s a small comfort but a comfort none the less.
