Scribbles Pt. Two

I am happiest curled up with a cup of coffee or lost in nature — walking through a forest or on a boat in the middle of a lake, doesn’t matter to me. This Thanksgiving weekend, for the first time in as long as I can remember, I was fully present with housemates, Mare, and myself.

Through dinner, backyard brunches, and a hike with one of my closest friends. I didn’t check my phone. I didn’t have a running list of ‘should be doings’. I didn’t break my day out into 30-minute increments of productivity. I just said yes to what was next and found myself exhausted and happy at the end of each day. 

I hope all of you were able to enjoy moments this weekend — even if they look differently this year. 

Sharing a few more of my scribbles today. 

Off to read my book club book Caste. Have any of you read it? What are your thoughts? I’ve only just begun. 

Talk soon,

Scribbles Pt. One

I know I’ve said this before, but I am one of those people who thinks by talking it out and writing it down. For as long as I can remember, I’ve scribbled in journals. Thoughts. Questions. Exclamations. Fears. Pages of scrawling, underlines, and crossed out words.

Earlier this year I started turning them into little quotes to share on our Instagram. But after a few weeks, I found myself second-guessing their worth.

I started to select the ones I thought were the most ‘relatable’, ‘good’, ‘shareable’. All at once, it meant that none of them were worthy outside of my journal.

Then friends started asking why I wasn’t sharing anymore — telling me how the words made them think, question, and exclaim. And isn’t that the whole point of this blog/community?! 

So, here goes nothing.

Although I am taking a break from social media (will share more about this later, although it sounds a whole lot like every other post you’ve read about taking a break from the barrage of notifications), I figured I would start re-sharing my scribbles here. 

Off to pour a bath and read my book (ohh the life of the funemployed). 

Talk Soon,
