today

today was vibrant green and downcast gray. it was mist and rain and a cool bit of breeze.
and today i didn't do much. i woke up and i didn't shower or brush my hair or even wash my face. but i woke up and i slipped on a gray comfy sweatshirt and shorts and i went to a bright red target under a dark gray sky and i bought a creamy flowy lace top.
then i came home and stayed home. and ate one too many spoonfuls of cookie dough.
today i read. a little bit way too much. only till late this afternoon did i finally (achingly) put down my book and get up from the bed and step outside.
and it was quiet.
today i walked down our road, away from the containment of the house, under the overcast sky, trees rising up on the left, fields sprawling out on the right. it smelt of earth and rain and breeze. and somehow it felt green.
today i picked flowers and weeds. i clutched pine needles and foxtails and wildflowers in my hands.
i walked barefoot on the damp earth and the wet grass, soaking in the dew and the mist. solitude found me and i soaked it in.
today i left behind my phone and left behind my shoes.
today i didn't do much.
but you know what
today
i lived.


{ ps excuse the poor quality of the picture(if you click on it it's better). and the post. this is actually a completely rewritten version of the original post, which i accidentally deleted right after i finished writing it. so much sadness. this one didn't turn out quite as well because i was not as inspired and was trying to fight the frustration of trying to recreate the vibe of the post that i had written totally spur of the moment. anyway, sorry for rant. and the blogging break. i've been supremely uninspired and busy. and now i should probably start talking. ok i'm just gonna go...k bye }

  3. This was beautiful!

    I HATE when I lose writing that I've worked on; so sorry that happened, but this is still beautiful, although I know what you mean by having the original just the way you wanted it. *sends virtual hug*

      um it's called boston jane- it's a series of three. don't judge it by it's cover- it's very slightly on the younger side but it's a great read and super fast and the characters are great! definitely recommend :)

  8. This post... I don't think there are any accurate words to describe the inspiration I felt when reading it. We need to find joy in the little things. We need to live in today. And this magnificent writing has reminded me of that. Thank you.

    I also wanted to say thank you for following my site. You're a very inspiring soul, and for you to take the time out of your day to support something I've worked on for a countless amount of time... well, it's a blessing. <3

    Don't ever stop believing.

    xx Rosie
