Lately I've been feeling very content, which is rare for me to say as I am the world's biggest worrier and even listening to certain songs gets me in to an emotional state (Les Misérables, need I say more?!). But right now, I am content. I am trying to cherish the simple things, like fresh fruit and black coffee on a crisp Wintry morning, or rediscovering the atlas I got 11 years ago and planning Scandinavian adventures. New stationary to keep me organised and focused, new books of new lands with covers that remind me of home, really looking around me at the beauty of my city as I have taken it for granted for too long. Relishing in girly nights in with my mum and sister re-watching Pride and Prejudice (with Colin, of course), or reading beautiful magazines while the snow falls outside. Finally sorting myself out and realising that if I have a goal I need to let go and reach for it, not letting anything get in my way. And at the risk of sounding like an awful self help book, having confidence in myself to start living and being myself (I'll work on it.)
