I feel like sitting with this question quietly for a while and seeing what emerges. I feel the same in that I need space away from the internet to really hear myself and work out what I want, instead of watching everyone elseโ€™s lives unfold on my screens and thinking I want what theyโ€™ve gotโ€ฆThank you for a lovely, thought provoking post. Xx

Iโ€™m also NOT a summer person, and I always feel like I just have to get through it. Maybe I need time to try and enjoy it too? X

yes, I have being trying to notice the things that are good, like I love our garden and in summer you get to actually spend time enjoying it - in the shade though of course!

All of it. I crave the same. I donโ€™t know why it also feels quite terrifying to give myself itโ€ฆ because itโ€™s only me that canโ€ฆ and I couldโ€ฆ but it feels terrifying in some way. X

I relate to this too. Thereโ€™s always that stepping off feeling, what will happen, the FOMO but also sometimes because I feel invested in the idea that it has to provide something, but maybe it wonโ€™t? But Iโ€™ll go for it if you you do Laura!

I definitely want toโ€ฆ particularly deleting things off my phone. I need to consider some boundaries that donโ€™t feel utterly cold turkey - because that doesnโ€™t always work for me - but that will help me be more present in daily lifeโ€ฆ will you go completely off everything or still write and share online in some ways??

Still be on but with boundaries. Going to figure them out this weekend I think!

I feel like I will do the same. I am intrigued to hear what you decide if you feel happy to share. I have some thoughts but not fully formed yet!!!! S
