March 2023 – Hollywood, FL

Happy Spring! Here’s what I’ve been up to this month:

  • Songs I’ve been listening to: Sunday Candy (Cenji cover), On My Mind (Boyce Avenue cover)
  • Last concert I went to: Paolo Nutini
  • New yummy places I ate at: Cote, Forma Pasta Factory, Common Lot
  • Last book I finished: Ask Again, Yes by Mary Beth Keane
  • Last shows I binged: Shadow and Bone (why/how is Ben Barnes so fine), The Sandman
  • Something that brought me joy: Seeing the daffodil bulbs I planted last fall start poking out of the ground!!!
  • New places traveled: Hollywood, FL

I think maybe I’m starting to crawl out of my rut. What’s been helping me lately is to focus less on wanting things I don’t have and instead focusing on wanting the things I do have. For example, instead of thinking about wanting a life partner, I’m thinking of the good people that are already in my life and speak truth when I need to hear it.

A conversation I’ve been thinking about a lot:

“Did I miss a meeting or something? How does everyone seem to have someone?”

“Some of those people probably settled.”

“What if everyone’s actually happy?”

“Statistically not probable.”

I’m not sure how much that makes sense out of context, but hearing that made me feel a little less lonely, and hope it helps you too. Let’s march (hahaha) on toward good things.
