Monday Morning Thoughts.


01. Getting up at 7:30 is always a struggle (the downside to being a night owl), that extra half an hour always seems like a good idea at the time, but it's rarely worth it.

02. Things around these parts have had a little revamp. It's really the only thing I accomplished yesterday. It's rough around the edges, quite a realistic reflection of my life at the moment, and it feels like a good fit. 

03. Florence's new album is still on repeat. Favourite songs: "St. Jude", "Various Storms and Saints", "Caught" & "Mother".

04. We're half way through June and I'm yet to read a book. It's okay to not do something for a little while, even if it's something you love above most other things. But I think it's time to delve into another world for a little while this afternoon.

05. Impermanence; memories fade, wounds heal and time marches on. There's a particular essence that impermanence has that I have yet to be able to find the right combination of words to capture. But there's a certain allure there, that's for sure.

Sending you good vibes this Monday morning!


P.S. My first "All Aboard" advertiser is Sunny Sweet Pea & she's pretty great!

    I'm feeling similarly reflective this morning - I love the dream-like quality of your posts!
    If you're looking for suggestions of a world to get lost in, book-wise, I'd suggest Us by David Nicholls or A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki.
    Maybe I'll give the Florence album a spin! Have a great Monday. x

    I feel the struggle of getting up early too, but a few hours reading sounds perfect!

    Oh my gosh, the Florence album is perfection! I have the deluxe version and my favourites without a doubt are Queen of Peace and Which Witch. I will never get sick of her perfect voice. x

    This is such an honest and lovely post! I agree with you; it's ok to not do something you love for a little while. If you come back to it, you'll love it even more! I am curious what book you'll choose to read!

    I understand your struggle as a fellow night owl... I wish I was more of a morning person! I've recently started reading again too and I've been loving it - such a simple pleasure in life :) x

    Happy Monday, Jennie! I love your new banner - the font and the idea of your blog being a time capsule are lovely. I hope you're doing well, lady, even if things are a little rough around the edges.

    I am having the exact same lack-of-book-reading feelings right now! I've been way too busy with uni, but my final exam is tomorrow and I'll have at least a month assignment free to relax and read. x
