It’s ASMR – A Haiku

It's ASMR
Ocean waves drop, rain retreats
A pursued reprieve.

Hello to all the beautiful souls out there! πŸ’› (That makes it sound optional but it’s not ☺️). These last few weeks have been particularly tough and more often than not frightful. It’s felt like one thing hits after another. Without going into it deeper I didn’t want to just act like none of it’s happened so placing my thoughts someplace else felt like a welcome escape. That mirrors how I let those emotions meet a place that brings me strength in this haiku 🌊. Whenever you’re feeling stuck, it doesn’t have to be the time that you call it quits with what you love doing. In all honesty, I very nearly made this into an “I’m taking a break” post but then I realized I wouldn’t get the opportunity to do this. To vent and seek out likeminded individuals who’ve been genuinely kind on the other end of these words. I’d be separating myself from this vice and it’s like a small part of me that’s not openly destructive but tends to think backing away is the answer wouldn’t even get anything from me going away. I’d choose that path and nothing would be there to greet me with open arms because it was a fleeting thought that stood no ground.

Anyway, this is a crazy time but I’m seeing it through till the end (and hoping that karma doesn’t step in right now because it tends to whenever I openly announce what I want to do πŸ˜…πŸ€£). A random thank you to everyone reading this post + to those who stand by this blog and in conjunction with it, stand by me! ✨ (Maybe that’s not so random because it feels right to say and put it there πŸ₯°). In these mad moments it’s nice to have this space, it’s amazing to be here regardless but when things get weird and I come here it takes on a whole other meaning πŸ’«.

Let this be a reminder to do what you love, no it won’t always be possible whilst going through different emotions but when you can actually stick with it, it makes the good times even better to know that this is your safe space too and that your comfort zone is ever expanding! ✨ I’ll see you again very soon but until then I hope you’re able to see the good in situations that are designed to test you and come out the other side stronger than ever! Take care, stay safe and buh-bye πŸŒŠβœ¨πŸ’› xx

  1. I have been the most sporadic blogger throughout the years. Between grief, surgery and illness, some days/weeks are just not conducive to writing. But this isn’t a job. It’s a passion. Take care of yourself and your family. We are all here for you when you are ready to write.

    1. Thank you Kristie πŸ€—, I totally agree with you on this being a passion because I fall into feeling pressure to make it more and I forget I don’t have it in me to make it more than that right now so it always ends up in a not so good place when I go back to realizing that but I should have that perspective the whole time you know? Pacing sucks and I can be my own worst enemy πŸ˜‚. I truly appreciate that, can’t put into words how much your unwavering support means and how you understand what it’s like too. Much love! βœ¨πŸ’•
