⬇️ Glimmers of excitement for a new me...
They're not super frequent, but there they are.
🪴 I'm thinking about all the plants I can have now that I don't have cats to destroy everything green in the apartment. I know nothing about plants but a few of y'all pointed to @easyplant and they have cute colored pots, so why not start there?
🛋️ As I get my apartment set up, I'm thinking about how bold and bright it can be, just for me. I'm eyeing everything from a super bright patterned bedframe from @theinside to beautifully colored dinnerware from @dinewithfable.
🛫 I'm wondering what kind of travel storytelling I'll want to or be able to do when I'm free to stay on the road as long as feels good to me. And yes, I'm itching for a truly relaxing, completely selfish trip where I eat and get massages and nap with the sun on my face. Maybe it's finally time for me to splurge on a trip to @visitmaldives.
This process will be SLOW. This kind of grief feels a lot like death, something I've unfortunately processed before. But I'm hoping little by little that the moments of excitement come more frequently than those moments of fear.
