poetry

I am usually terrible about taking time off for the holidays. I made an effort, this year, to take at least a few days to be as relaxed and task-free as possible.

I wanted to make some space for woolgathering, reflection, laughter, for time to sink into a sense of free time. I wanted to enjoy some things I don't manage to enjoy as often as I'd like, foods I like to eat, things I like to do.

I like to do creative things - write, draw, make music - and I wanted the space to feel like I could do those things - for fun, not as a task on a checklist.
