i cheated myself… like i knew i would…
the last few weeks have been a crazy whirlwind of stress and papers, tears and lonely nights, and friends that helped me through it. But coming home yesterday was exactly what i needed.
i’ve been here less than 24 hours, and already feel more relaxed than i have in ages and more well rested. i came home to a lovely husky, a lovelier sister, and spent the friday dining at some amazing restaurants, drinking tons of coffee in cute litte coffee shops, and meeting old friends (and running into some even older friends) at a hole in the wall place called the Art Bar, where I enjoyed two awesome acts of improv comedy before excusing myself for the night.
it was a fun, late night,but i feel more rested than ever. Woke up bright and early to hit an estate sale, where the merch was lovely but way overpriced, and then made up for it by visiting an amazing vintage shop in 5 points where I scored some gorgeous 1940s nighties and an amazing faux leapord print coat.
this is what i needed, and it’s only been a day. I feel like my soul is actually healing. i can’t wait to see my friends, my babies, and take a couple days to just rest before heading back to Charlotte for an even newer experience (first photoshoot ever- AHHHHHH!!! :/ )
Now, I sit and wait for peanut butter chocolate cookies to cool while sipping tea and listening to amy winehouse. these are the days :) i’m happier than i’ve been in a while. and i hope it lasts.
