Hiiiii, thanks for this fun update, that really does look like a great weekend! My weekend was so good too!! I have been recovering from a pretty bad gut virus the past weeks with very low energy levels (got food poisoning on holiday), but this weekend I finally felt human again 😁 I even went for a run and lemme tell ya... that's my happy place. Became a runner during the first months of the pandemic and it has been a huuuuge stress outlet for me. It brings me an indescribable amount of joy to be out running in the woods. So when I went running this weekend, I had a massive dopamine rush and overwhelming feeling of "yes, I've got my health back!". It made me realise how incredibly important good health is and how grateful I am to have it.

The rest of the weekend I have pretty much just been cuddling my 1yr old niece. She's my little sunshine and we're besties.

Hope you're feeling healthy too! Have a great week!

Love from Amsterdam,

Irene

Hey hey Taryn, I’m part of the pretty recent followers, but I really like your honest and raw texts! I just wanted to share a little something, I’m French and am from the south west of France, really close to the Pyrenees. I just finished my bachelor and found a great internship in the communication of a feminist organisation in Paris (Paris!!). I’m here for 6months, and as much as I love the city life and all the adventures I have here, I struggle to find inner peace as I wish I could visit my family and cats on weekends or more often. Trains are terribly expensive and I only have weekends free, so I don’t think it’s worth it. I just wanted to share this little inner struggle I have right now, between my pure joy of being in Paris in a dream internship, but missing family and quarantine “life” when everything was slower.

Ah! I guess it’s a balance.

Anyways, have a nice week :)
