Popping in with a bit of Wednesday wisdom! This is a super difficult one for me, and I’m sure a lot of people can relate. I experience emotions really strongly, and I’m slowly learning and teaching myself that *this is not a bad thing*. . An account that’s really helped me this year is @notesfromyourtherapist - so many good lessons in those little handwritten notes! If you know any other accounts like that, I’d love to hear 🙂 #blog
This is Laura, my twin sister, and tomorrow is our birthday! Laura is the opposite of me. She is strong, fierce, independent and headstrong. I’ve always admired her fearless decision making and confidence. We grew up clashing due to our differences; of me being the sensitive one and her not understanding why I would get so emotional. But for the last ten years, we’ve been inseparable best friends. There was a moment a couple of years ago that I’ll remember forever because to me, it marked a silent acknowledgement that although we are different, we will have each other’s back, always. I’d left something behind in a restaurant when we were in New York, and only realised when we were on the Subway. It was small and silly, but I was tired and emotional and the waterworks came anyway. She could have told me how silly I was being, and to snap out of it, but she didn’t. It felt like she had accepted that that was who I was, a crier when I’m tired and that was OK. She held my hand and led me through the subway as I cried through the crowds and didn’t let go of my hand even on the street as we walked through Times Square. We have so many inside jokes and phrases that make us laugh always, and we’ll be best friends until we’re old and grey. Happy birthday Lau! ♥️♥️♥️
I’m home from a week gallivanting in London and Barcelona. Both trips were amazing but there’s nothing sweeter than being back in your own bed 🙌🏻 I love travelling and experiencing new cultures, but I also love the feeling of coming home; the mundanities of everyday life and getting back to routine. These ladies are ready for the summer, but I didn’t quite manage to bring back the Spanish sun with me. Come on June, you can do better! ☀️ #blog
Life has been b u s y, and June’s crept up very quickly! It also means I’m off to Barcelona next week and I’ve done zero planning so I need some recommendations! Where to go, where to eat, what to do? Let me know in the comments and I’ll be super grateful :) P.S I feel like I’ve been away for ages, I hope you’re all doing well!
Technically, this piece is bad, but I had so much fun painting it I really don’t mind. I feel a bit rushed off my feet this past week trying to juggle everything, and this week is looking even busier! Maybe life will calm down a bit soon and I can catch my breath! HOW are we almost half way through May?! 😩 #blog
Apparently! Still working through it 😂 I hope you’ve all had a lovely bank holiday weekend. I did some painting today and had so many responses to what I shared on my stories, so thank you! I’ve changed my focus off of numbers and it’s so wonderful to have responses and engagement in other ways ♥️ #blog
Remember when I said I was trying to loosen up and enjoy painting again? I painted these the other week - the one on the right was my first attempt. I tried to be loose and expressive but in the end I just went with it and went detailed. Once I’d got it out of my system I started again. No. 2 took about a quarter of the time and may not be technically close to the other, but it was fun! Just slapping paint on the page and enjoying it, rather than being picky about brush strokes. I find it hard to let go at first but I really like both pieces! #blog
I don't like change. I hate the discomfort, the unsettled feeling in your stomach that won't go away. It amazes me that I've made so many big life changes in 2019. I ended my eight year relationship. I moved back home to my parents. I have a new job. New people, new routine, new everything. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I want to fast forward through the uncomfortableness - fast forward to six months from now until I am settled and happy again. But, they say, you grow the most in the unknown, the uneasiness, the in-between. And so; onwards and upwards. Buck up, smile, charm, off we go. #fleabag #stillobsessed
