"I hope you’re in a good place, reading this. If not, I hope you’re being held through it. I hope you remember that there are other places beyond the tough rock you’re standing on. You’ve been in better places before, so they exist. If they exist, you can go back. It’s only a matter of time". -Eloghosa Osunde

Wore this earlier this week to run errands with my sizzz & after taking a couple of pictures, realised how much I missed dressing up for long travel. This is exactly how I'd dress for a trip & so my travel itch continues.

@sharonmalonza took this great picture of me earlier this week in the middle of a super hectic day & at the beginning of all my anxiety around endings/ beginnings. I've been reading lots of posts expressing excitement for the next half of the year or just a new month and I've had lots of mixed feelings around this 6 month mark of the year and the expectations put on myself. I've decided to take this and all other nerve wracking transitions much slower and continue to reaffirm myself that I'm deserving of guiltless rest, self- compassion & indulgence without condition.

'Maybe, the only thing that has to make sense about being somebody's friend is that you help them be their best self on any given day. That you give them a home when they don't want to be in their own.' - Akwaeke Emezi
