pause //

My husband said to me, “let me know before you crack, okay?” Last week he meant this seriously.

So here I am two nights on my own in a little wombly cabin an hour from home. Vigo asked me why I couldn’t work from my or Papa’s studio, I told him I needed to do some work all on my own. Just me two nights. I would be back to pick him up from kindergarten in two days. Heart strings pulled. Fuck me. It’s just two days.

It’s the best for us all.

I have been feeling very on edge. Tension building, Hot damn I need a minute.

I need some downtime. Time to just be. Breath a minute.

A bit of away time from the studio and the fam and all the things. mmm

Away from social media and the news. mmmm

Just me drinking tea, reading, writing, dreaming, and of course treating the fuck out of myself. Which mostly just means eating Korean instant kimchi noodles and assorted random fruits and chocolate, while staring out the double doors at the lake or dreaming up ideas and collecting inspiration for upcoming work while wandering the waters edge. 🤗

I’m here celebrating me. 🥰 celebrating life.
Thank goodness, I am in a partnership. I hooked me a good one! Dom contacted this place for these two nights. Shifting his schedule around to do full-time home duties. Which we normally share 50/50.

I’ve never taken just two nights all on my own until last summer. Yes, we have been giving each other these times. Feels damn good to be able to get away and get some space.

I just made the mistake of calling Dom at 18:30pm right after dinner in the thick of the nighttime rhythm and he seemed pretty wiped. 😬 Welp, he gets to get away next month.

I deserve space to reflect, space to grow, space to heal, space to let the fuck go.

Take time for whatever you need it for. Take time for you. You’re worth it.

I needed a pep talk today. And I need a pause. Do you need one too? What can you pause from for a bit? Make space and take time for something that will give you life juice.

Now I’m back in the studio excited for what is to come.

Thanks for reading lovelies,

Anna
