august

hi august. salt air, and the rust on your door ….

i want to welcome this month. say hi as if it’s an old friend i’m revisiting.

welcome the month, embrace it with open arms. allow the month to bless me (or hurt me) in whatever way it wishes. and through that, i write.

last august was both beautiful and broken.

last august destroyed me both mentally and emotionally, and by the end of the month i was struggling. i had lost myself, i didn’t read or write, i struggled to even simply exist. a lot of that was down to the relationship i was in at the time. thankfully, that’s over.

this august will be different. i will not allow myself to fall to such a dark place again. this august will be different, i am making sure of it.

this august is centred around two things; myself and my friends.

it’s centred around having fun, going to concerts, watching films, going to parties, going to cafes — both alone and with friends.

and it’s centred around me. building myself up, physically and emotionally. it’s about working out consistently and eating well, so that i have good energy levels and i’m happy. it’s about writing every day, reading & listening to podcasts and learning in the ways i love to learn.

this august is about myself and my friends. nobody is going to take this from me.

and so i welcome august.

i welcome whatever and whoever this month will bring.

i welcome everything. hello august…
