the calm before the storm

duality is a term i’ve come to learn and understand over the past year (2024) through self reflection, meditation, journaling and spending copious amounts of time alone (in a healthy way!) and copious amounts of time with friends and family (love y’all) i know i need both. one cannot be sacrificed for the other. in these short moments i have chosen to share with you, detailing the last couple of days of 2024. i spend my time with family (this is just a few days after christmas) in nature going on walks, playing card games, getting pedicures with my mum and leaning into self care rituals to prepare my mind, body, and soul for the year ahead. then i spend my time with friends (new and old) showing a chaotic but fun new year’s eve giving me stories to tell the grandkids hehe. i’m all for nurturing every aspect of your unique being. listen to your body to understand when it’s time to slow down and take a break or pick things up and make a change. i hope you all had a wonderful christmas and new years with the ones you love and also take a moment to think about those who had to spend it alone.
