Rest. Recharge. & Restart

 Rest. Recharge. & Restart

November 24, 2020

The last month and a half I have been blessed to safely spend time with family and friends that mean everything to me, especially at times like these. Every weekend has been an abundance of quality time (my love language by the way) creating the memories that I’m sure we’ll look back on and be thankful that we have. In the midst of all this, I find myself wishing I honestly just had some me time. I'd been bouncing between so many different energies , that I completely forgot about my own. My energy felt low, uninterested, and tested. Most days I felt like I didn’t have a moment to myself to enjoy something that I wanted to do. My time revolved around the rotation of my loved ones, fitting in time when I could to make sure we didn’t miss the connection. I realized at some moments I just wanted to lay in bed or on the couch and just be, endlessly scrolling or watching something that was easy to digest. I honestly missed early quarantine when all I had was me and my schedule. When I was working out, choreographing a routine or doing karaoke in the judgement free space of my home, but now most of that felt like a distant memory. Now the laziness has settled in between plans and priorities, I don’t have anything left. 

But I have  finally found some time this weekend to just relax, which resulted in some much needed sleep for most of the days and lounging in bed late into the morning. I’m starting to  feel recharged and happy. I look forward to more days like this and promised myself I’d always make time for me in any way that I can. Even if that’s slowing down my routine a bit to fit in a nap or mindlessly watching a show episode after episode. 

Some time to just be me, not a daughter, friend, or relative. There’s peace in the quiet of our own existence, that can be crowded in by our thoughtfulness or support of others. 

With love, AW
