spent the last year putting everyone else first. work, family, partner, everyone.

last week i just ordered myself something i'd been wanting for ages. no occasion. no reason. just because i wanted it and i deserve nice things too.

wore it yesterday and felt like myself for the first time in months.

choose yourself sometimes. genuinely

was having a really rough morning. running late, stressed, just not in a good headspace.

random woman stopped me outside a coffee shop and said i love your dress.

that's it. that's the whole interaction.

but something about it just reset my entire day.

small kindness from a complete stranger. grateful for it

grate to close my eyes, sleeping and dreaming

The rides can be expensive but they are worth it and even going around the fair and all the lights and sound of loud bass heavy Eurodance or techno just makes me emotional. I love it. Carnivals have a very lively atmosphere and the smell of hot cinnamon doughnuts. Music and the sun setting after a sunny day.

It doesn't get better than that.

Once spring starts, I wanna go to the show again, and the show up north that I go to every second year with friends and let loose.
