The first sip of coffee holds within it a sense of expectation. It is tired, bleary eyed and grumpy, yet still expectant of the day ahead.
Within it stirs the thoughts of the day ahead, the sweetness of unknowing, but the bitterness of repetition.
At this time in my life, I know how my days will slowly weave themselves: I will wake up, get up, do my uni work, workout, talk to my friends, go to sleep.
The repetition of this time is mind numbing, but I sip my expectation and think of my favourite type of day. The days which are surprise. The ones that make you feel alive and free: like when I woke up at 7 and took my camera to hunt in the frost. Or when I spent the day looking for crystals and eating sushi during my uni’s strike. Or the evenings where my friend and I would sing our favourite songs together when we danced home from the gym. We must have looked like the definition of insanity, but we were bouyant with laughter.
These are the days I cherish. I have had many days like these during this quarantine, which I hold close to my heart. Most recently was the day Katie and I dedicated to tie dying. Our creativity ran wild, and we laughed loudly. We talked for hours, and put our heads together simply to ponder colour.
Another time I took my camera and wandered for hours in new woods, by new coasts.
There is peace in this repetition, in this safety net we call our homes.
By the time I finish my coffee, I have forgotten that I wanted to add more honey. I think it was perfect the way it was.

There is indeed a sameness about the days. Looking for surprises, appreciating all the little things helps a lot. As does remembering and rejoicing again at days gone by. this is a lovely post. Stay well.
I agree, every day is easier to get through if you’re grateful for tiny things.
Truth!
Thank you x stay well also x
Doing my absolute best! 🙂 and you are most welcome.
Evee I am waiting soon for post with pictures taken by you 📷.
I wish you interesting days.
Thank you! I will post some soon 🙂 I wish you interesting day as well.
May all your days be favorite days. As far as I can tell I only get to live this life one time, at least as far as I will know. I’m always looking for more ways to embrace where I am and what I have. Thanks for this post.

Bizarre thought I had commented. It’s an age thing. We have created like our own little safe world. Outside seems such an alien place. It’s going to feel so weird rebuilding those bridges again. Probably have a few more coffees first. x
I fully agree:) Hopefully, I dont know if I’m ready for the world to go back to reality 100% yet.
Nice piece of art over there ey!🙏🙏💆💆
Thank you!
It’s amazing how different two days can turn out with roughly the same beginning – possibly depending on our expectations? I love those little bursts of joy that show up at unexpected moments, and we laugh with sheer pleasure.
I couldn’t agree more, it is a simple joy 🙂 thank you for your comment, hope you are well x
