♥ Sometimes (like right now) my house is a mess and I'm doing everything I possibly can to avoid having to tidy up. There's glitter everywhere and there's glue on every flat surface from the Christmas cards I was just attempting to make. Erin makes it look so easy!! Mine look like a 4 year old has made them and I may or may not have temporarily glued a button to my hand. But that's okay. I'm calling the cards rustic and I'm running my hand under the hot tap hoping the button will peel off...
♥ Sometimes I don't manage to keep up with everything I should.
♥ Sometimes I function entirely on auto pilot and I'm oblivious to everything going on around me. The other day I was in the supermarket and I successfully managed to knock over a display that someone had just finished putting together with my basket of shopping. I felt awful and he wouldn't let me help to put it all back...
♥ Sometimes choosing between what I should do & what's easy to do is a lot more difficult that it should be.
♥ Sometimes when I feel overwhelmed I step outside & look at the moon because someone, somewhere is looking at it too. Thanks for that quote tumblr, you're not all thigh gaps and starbucks cups after all!
Love, Jennie

What a sweet post :) I often feel really guilty when I have to take a step back from life and just hide in my duvet for a while but this post reminded me that sometimes, it's essential.

Definitely not something to feel guilty about at all, sometimes it's necessary! xo
Deletebooks and forts are an amazing combination. I find the moon such a calming influence too x
ReplyDeleteIt helps to put everything into perspective I think <3
DeleteCan totally relate to having weeks like this, its kinda been a whole fortnight of this lately with being back at home whilst we wait to move, stuck in limbo a bit! xxx
ReplyDeleteI hope you're able to get all settled very soon! xo
DeleteI too can totally relate to those weeks! The moon always calms me down as well. It's so beautiful and mysterious all at once, it never fails to put me in a better mood.

DeleteThis is a lovely post that I can definitely relate to, sometimes there's nothing better than curling up in bed with a book to get away from it all :) xx
ReplyDeleteAll about being cosy and escaping for a little while <3
DeleteYES! I nodded along :) x
ReplyDeleteOne of those weeks I think ;) x
DeleteI know all these feelings very well. Big hugs to you xxxxxx

Thank you sweet <3
DeleteThis is such a lovely post. I totally recognise all those traits in myself, it's nice to hear them recollected like this. XX
ReplyDeleteThank you!! xo
DeleteAll of these are so true, and I identify with them completely, especially knocking things over in shops. I always feel awful when I do it for being so clumsy and just in my own little world but I can't help it! I think sometimes it is alright to be a bit of a dreamer though :) xx

I completely agree, the food shop is much more fun if you're there but not *really* there! xo
DeleteI loved this post a lot :) xx
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading lovely <3
DeleteThat's so true lovely! I think we are all very tough with ourselves nowadays and we don't even allow us to breath sometimes... xxx
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! Sometimes it's okay to not try and get everything done! xo
DeleteI feel like I have been on Auto Pilot this entire year. Its been a tough one. I love putting my PJ's on during the day & going back to bed. I normally read xx

DeleteThat last quote is lovely <3 I find myself doing that all the time.

ReplyDeleteIt's very comforting to know that whatever happens, you're never alone <3
