A sunshine state of mind.

First things first how the hell is it May already! It’s hard to believe that a year ago I finished Uni! I feel like this time of year is when the weather gets better the warm temperatures start coming in and everyone is in a good mood and enjoying themselves.

Normally that’s me, when the sunlight comes beating through my bedroom window in the morning it sets me up to have a good day. Recently that necessarily hasn’t been true. Since coming back from my trip to Brighton and I've nothing really to look forward too I’m sat wondering what’s next...?

I’m craving something different, a new challenge, a new start. Where I am at the moment is not where I want to be, in fact I don’t know where I want to be or go for that matter but one thing I do know is that I just want to be happy. I’ve been stuck in a bit of a rut, some days are better than others I just need something to change. 

Its ok to not be okay and I think we as humans need to remember that. Just because the sun shines doesn’t mean we feel like doing so either. I'll keep searching, keep going and hopefully I’ll find what I’m looking for, something new, something away from all of this. Just a few thoughts that have been running through my mind over and over and thought I’d share.

Anyways I'm happy its Spring! heres to more sun, less layers, better times...

My soul place!

 

“ Did you know we all have at least one soul place in the physical world? A soul place is a special site or spot where we experience unique feelings of belonging, empowerment and energetic rejuvenation.”

It’s no secret to how much I adore this place. Its 2 weeks today since I returned to the seaside town of Brighton and I captured just about everything and thought I’d reflect on my trip and share with you some unseen pictures.  So unlike the past 2 times I’ve visited this time around I was heading back to Brighton for 3 days, which was amazing! Now usually when I book any trip away it usually involves some sort of gig/festival and tends to be the reasoning for booking a trip. I was desperate to return to Brighton once the new year came around and always said I’d want to come back for at least a couple of days.  It just so happened to be that my favourite band had booked a tour and Brighton happened to be one of the dates and immediately knew if I was going to travel to any date it had to be this one.

Apart from the gig I had also booked an appointment to get my very first tattoo! And as I sit here in the sunshine out my back garden looking down at my arm it still doesn’t seem real that I actually got one. There was no ifs or buts, I found an artist, I enquired, I paid my deposit and that was it. Not at any stage did I think or worry about the pain, weather id like it or if I should get it. I just bloody went for it and DID IT! And thinking back now if I can get a tattoo with this state of mind, I can do anything right!

I won’t go too in depth about the meaning behind the tattoo, as I’ve already got a post about it on my instagram also have a blog post about my favourite band which I will link below for anyone interested. But basically it’s something I’ve thought about and wanted for a really long time and getting it done in Brighton meant that I would always have something to remember this trip by and why I got it. I’m so in love with it and so glad I got it done and how special to get it done in Brighton.

I don’t know what it is about this place but it feels like home to me. I don’t know weather it’s because it’s by the sea or the quint little lanes and shops/cafes or even just the atmosphere this little place has but I walk around and feel like I belong. I feel like I can be myself and wear whatever without being judged or looked at. There are so many amazing humans and individuals I witnessed over the 3 days I spent there with so much style and fashion sense that I haven’t seen anywhere else. No one follows the crowd they are who they are and wholeheartedly and completely themselves which is exactly how I feel when I step foot in this place. No worries, no nothing. My soul place, Brighton.
