Last month was the longest year of my life.

Earnest is my word of the year, remember? This means winter me tends to lean toward the melodramatic, metaphorically (and physically) draping myself across furniture while trying to drown under blankets, thick socks, and lack of sunlight.

And it makes sense. We’ve been through it this past month.

While the world continues as it is, I’ve found pockets of peace in my silly little hobbies and books and other small pleasures to keep me grounded and well.

Oh, and remember when I said in December how I was excited about winter?

I’m over it.
