End of March

Tuesday 27 March 2018

















I have been meaning to clear through specific areas of my room for quite a while now. I have the occasional ‘move around belongings so I can’t see them anymore’ sort of thing every now and again but as it’s almost April I have no more excuses. I just emptied one drawer and it didn’t feel therapeutic like I thought a big clear out would. Why I own 7 really terrible bras that don’t fit me is quite perplexing, and why I needed so many banana-printed socks at one point in my life is beyond me too.

As I haven’t been rushing in and out of London for class I’ve instead taken some time to slow down. I still work on the weekends but I’m using the rest of my week to sort through things whilst trying to be productive with my life too. Last week I decided to drive into town for ice cream. I ended up getting a really delicious panini (mozzarella, salami, tomato and basil) from a little cafe I used to go to on my lunch breaks when I was studying for my A-Levels. I accidentally forgot my earphones but I had a book with me and it turned out to be a really lovely afternoon. 

Taking the time to just relax, appreciate things and read a good book is helping me feel more inspired and less under pressure from myself to constantly be doing something. I’ve caught up with old friends, spent time in the library, made plans for the future and all in all feel like I’m in a really good place. 

Hope you all have exciting plans for Easter weekend!

Songs I’m listening to:
Start a War - The National 
Hounds of Love - The Futureheads
Roll Back - George Fitzgerald, Lil Silva 
Do You Want it All - Two Door Cinema Club
Hold - Vera Blue
Wolf Den (Live Session) - Leah McFall
