It's time to rest 🌱 (Patreon)

You probably already know that I'm heading off for a little time to recharge my batteries. I've for quite some time been feeling really frustrated that I haven't quite been able to do as much as I've wanted or do them as fully. Simply put, I've just been running on really low batteries for quite some time and not allowed myself to really rest them up.

I'm hoping this break will do just that! I'm going to try to let go of everything for a while, starting Monday afternoon. I want to find back to myself again, I want to enjoy the little things, eventually enjoy my passions to their fullest. But I also want to do nothing you know. Just be. 

It's funny but when Cipher asked me what the first thing I want to do on my break is I said: "Colour in my colouring book!". It's such a simple thing but for some reason I've gotten into a habit of prioritizing away the little things that brings me enjoyment and peace that doesn't serve a tangible productive purpose you know. I'd love to watch a film and do slow yoga for hours! Things that doesn't grow our community but that will nourish myself. I know I need that too, that's why I'm longing for it.

Maybe this can serve as a reminder for you too, are there things that you wish you would do, that you can do, but you're not doing? Because there's not really anything that has been stopping me from colouring, I've just been deciding to use my time somewhere else. This break is going to serve as a reset for me. I'll be replanting, going inwards and finding some balance. Being true to myself. But without pressure, I can't expect to come out as a new person either. It's more like stripping away the layers I don't need and start to come back home. 

OH AND YEA, the picture! My cousin sent me some old photos of when we used to take pictures together, she was the first one I used to go photographing with like this, before Lovi! You best believe I'll be lying just like this tomorrow same time as now. 

Love you so much, thank you so incredibly much for your support. I can't wait to be able to share more exclusive content with you and continue to take you along on this journey.

Much love! Miss you already, but I'll see you sooner than you know! ~ Joy
