I haven’t taken photos like this in quite some time, but today was lovely and I feel wonderful. 

I bought the skirt today in the sales. I’m enjoying its floaty, translucent beauty. To be paired with biker boots en hiver, je pense. 

It’s been a long time since I’ve taken any photos of myself. It feels strange.

Today I sat in a pub garden talking with, but mostly listening to, my best friend for the best part of three hours. She has had a difficult couple of weeks and needed to make sense of it - that is where I come in. 

At the end of our conversation there was a silence and she looked at me anxiously, I knew immediately from her eyes what she was going to say and true enough - ‘I feel awful that I’ve made you sit here and listen to me ramble. You’re so patient and your advice is always so kind.’

She frets about bothering me, but to me, it’s never an issue. I will listen and attempt to understand for as long as people need me. What is strange however, is that I am incapable of dealing with or talking about my own demons.

Has it really been almost two years since we sat down and had a conversation? A great deal has happened since then and a great deal more has changed.

I am an entirely different person. I wonder if you are, too.

today.

Today I

• Woke up to beautiful, warm sunshine and an instantly happy mood.
• Did some work in the library.
• Decided to unplug myself from my iPod and smile at strangers.
• Did food shopping. It makes me strangely happy, carrying my little basket, picking up bits and pieces on offer. Remembering how much I love being vegetarian.
• Made an appointment to give blood later this week.
• Lay on my bed reading Pride & Prejudice, absent-mindedly chewing a bobby pin. Got incredibly engrossed in Mr Darcy’s professions of love for Elizabeth. Almost swallowed said bobby pin.  

yesterday, I bought a dress.
