February Recap

I often feel like I am still pretending to be an adult, as if I am still just acting like I know how everything works. Because honestly, who really understands this insane world we are living in right now?

Which is exactly why I am so ready for spring. For us to collectively step outside again instead of staying inside, mentally and physically. For flowers to bloom, birds to sing, coats and hats to retire. Spring always feels lighter. Softer. Easier.

Because let’s be honest, February is still winter. It is the final stretch. And the final stretch is allowed to feel a little heavy. I definitely feel that.

But let’s not forget what is still beautiful in this world. Let’s keep doing the things that make us happy. Like me tattooing summer freckles on my face simply because they make me smile.

Let’s look forward. Let’s hope this slightly chaotic world finds its balance again. That women everywhere will have the same rights as men. That countries regain independence. That wars end. That criminal men are held accountable. That peace returns.

Let’s stay positive. Let’s spread positivity the way spring spreads across the Northern Hemisphere, slowly, gently, but inevitably, as Mother Nature once again bathes everything in sunlight.

And maybe, just maybe, time will slow down long enough for us to notice.
