I'm so glad that my words made you feel a little lighter. Have these past few weeks been alright, love? I know it's been a little while since I popped by, things have been so busy. Has life been treating you kinder and softer?
Your warmth and soft hugs are deeply appreciated, I accept them with open arms and a smile, and send some right back to you! Ahh, my dress and crocheted trinkets! Well, I got a beautiful white flowy dress a little while ago. I think it's so pretty, and it's the only soft dress I own. I own only 2 others, but those are tight and black. I was happy to get something a bit flowy and new. And along with that, I bought some lovely crocheted objects. A dinosaur wearing a hat, an otter with a bucket hat and sling bag, a ducky, and a mushroom. They are incredibly adorable, haha. Getting them made my week!
You're absolutely right. Taking care of yourself while life throws stones at you is an incredibly difficult task. It feels as if you finally cleansed away the bruises, and then another stone hits you once again. But perhaps we can take care of ourselves without feeling like we need all the bruises to vanish. Life will always throw stones, but perhaps it's lovely to show that you're walking and happy, despite what life has tossed at you and the marks it has left ♡
I hope you're having a day as wonderful as you are! <3
These weeks have kept me quite busy, and life is certainly keeping me on my toes. But I’m doing alright, and there’s a little hope that things might calm down toward the end of the year. Thank you for checking in, darling! Your words really mean a lot.
That new dress of yours sounds absolutely lovely. There’s never anything wrong with a tight black dress, of course. But I adore those soft, flowy summer dresses just as much. And those crocheted pieces you found sound delightful, sweetheart. I actually love otters, and since I live near a river, I get to see them from time to time. They’re impossibly adorable!
You’re absolutely right: sometimes we haven’t even finished tending to one bruise before life throws another curveball our way. But I agree with you, life isn’t about hiding or erasing our scars. They’re part of who we are. We can’t change the past, and not everything in the future is ours to control, but as I like to say: get up, straighten that crown, and keep going.
Now, tell me, how have these past few weeks been for you? It took me a little longer to respond than I would have liked, but I hope life has been gentle with you, my dear.
