Well… I’ve been away longer than I thought I would be. I took some time away since my mental health had plummeted slightly, and the passing of Liam Payne hit me a lot harder than I expected. Turns out being a die hard one direction fan since 2010 does things to you. I’m hoping to get back on track, especially since there is only a couple of months left of 2024. Enjoy some pictures from the last few days, pumpkin carving, Rocky Horror, and walking in the wind (plus the abnormal amount of leaves)

The contrast between day and night in my room is crazy. Candles are one of my favourite things, especially in the autumn time to make my room feel cosy, and safe. This afternoon I had what I would classify as maybe the largest cup of coffee in my life. Sadly, I forgot to take a photograph of it, so I thought I would include my coffee from this morning. All I will say is… there were two handles on either side of the mug to be able to hold it up and actually drink from it. Was quite refreshing going out to a coffee shop to read my book, generally I would say I am a hermit and stay at home to read. But it’s always nice to try new things. I’m trying to take myself out of my comfort zone more.

My pictures from today aren’t necessarily the most pretty or aesthetic, but I’ve found it hard recently to remember to capture moments of things I love. I headed for an early coffee with my grandad this morning, and only realised after we had finished I didn’t capture any pictures. At the weekend when I went for coffee and cake with my mam I forgot to take pictures of them as-well. They were incredible! But maybe that was just because we only do that once a month i would say. I’m still reading the Iliad, it’s going quite slow, however I am taking my time and making notes as I go. Who knew there was so many names to remember.

I’ve come to realise that one of the worst feelings is when you are in work for multiple days back to back (mine being six), and the days start merging together. To the point where you can’t really remember what day you are on, or pretty much only remembering work. I’m currently in that state. But I’m happy to have some free time this weekend to get back on track, and do things that bring me happiness. Speaking of which, I thought I would show a few pictures of things that have recently brought me joy and comfort. A lot of dark nights I’ve been clearing out and playing some comforting albums, plus I’m back to my Gilmore Girl mornings. I’ve also been rewatching Normal People because the feeling I get from that show is something even I can’t comprehend .

Buckets and buckets of rain. All day. The autumnal weather has finally hit the north east… so what better to do than start a new book. Spending some time reading the Iliad, though it could be because I watched the movie Troy a few nights ago. The only thing that would have made my reading session better was a cup of coffee.

I read this quote from Virginia Woolf “ I want to write a novel about Silence," he said; “the things people don’t say. “ and it got me thinking 🖋️ reblog is ok, don’t repost/use

Thursday, October 3rd 2024-

The comfort these dark, dismal and gloomy months bring me is something that I will never be able to explain. All I know is that I feel safe. Treated myself to a new witchy mug for my daily large mug of black coffee. My spooky decorations have been up for longer than I’m willing to admit. I’m really trying to get back into writing in my diary everyday, but that may just be something to work on.

The positives to a late shift is that I can have a slower start to my morning. Playing the same Stevie Nicks record on repeat (it’s the only thing I’ve listened to for two weeks) plus a new Sally Rooney book to read. It may be a mundane morning, but I feel the need to go back to routine.

At least it’s October tomorrow.
