In search of the fountain ⛲️ of youth . . . Went out on a walk at a London park and posed with my husband’s skateboard to pretend I was a cool kid. I also tried to cartwheel 🤸🏾‍♀️ and felt a twinge in my knee 😂Life is certainly moving on. . . . I do miss the simple times where my main problems were wishing for a boyfriend or getting in trouble for watching tv past my bedtime. Or my siblings problems were trivial things like handing in homework late. Life seems to have gotten more complicated. The problems have gotten more real. . . . But there’s always a way to simplify things. A way to feel happy. To tap into that childlike mentality of turning a boring situation into a fun one. We can always try to find something to smile about or make light of as we get older. I say try it! I won’t stop my cartwheels or my want to watch Disney👍🏾😂
Looking for a reason to dance 💃🏾 . . . I like taking small moments to do a weird dance in public for roughly 10 seconds as it makes life less serious😂. . . . I keep reading about deaths that aren’t related to covid but racism. Or mischievous acts that are done because someone suspects a brown person shouldn’t be saying or thinking what they feel like saying or thinking. It’s tiring and hard. . . . So many people don’t realize how privileged they are to just exist and so when I take time to dance and exist, I hope everyone else can find a moment to escape life and be silly for a second.
Did someone say vacation?🌴✈️ . . . I was supposed to be in NYC this week visiting family and friends and hitting up my favorite foodie spots but it ain’t happening because of the pandemic. . . . It’s annoying but things could definitely be much worse for me. But one thing I have heard is that there is a high probability that travel may be super expensive and vastly different once were allowed out again. . . . Goodbye middle seats 💺(never loved ya) and hello face masks. We may need to wear gloves and masks on our flight and never get the chance to sit next to a stranger who could discover your skills and make you a superstar. But really, things may be strange once were back in the sky and put pockets may hurt more. What do you think will happen?
It’s a sunny ☀️bank holiday in London. What is a #bankholiday you ask? . . . It’s basically a day off of work sanctioned by the government to celebrate various occasions. In the UK, there are only about 5-6 of them I believe. A lot fewer than the US. But then again, you get way more paid vacation (at least 3 weeks more).🧳🌎 . . . This is the third bank holiday we’ve had and the third one in this lockdown Covid world. It’s also been sunny during all of these days off which is apparently unusual for Britain. . . . Here’s to hoping that you all enjoy your days off in the sun and that we’ll soon be able to return to holidays with family, friends or just other people in general. And happy three day weekend in America too! It’s Memorial Day weekend 🇺🇸
