Sunday Reflections

Today has been one of those days when all I wanted to do was stay home. A book I brought with me from my latest trip to Romania, a cup of tea, some photo editing – those were all the “plans” I had.

I am already anticipating the calm and the joy of Winter holidays, which we`ll be once again spending in England, at my boyfriend`s family, in one of the cosiest homes I`ve ever seen. But I am not in the Christmas mood just yet. 🙂

I am thinking of all those things that have been on my to-do list since maybe last year and to which I still haven`t found the necessary time to dedicate.

I have never been an artist, but the need to create (be it photos, photo books, texts that will probably never leave my laptop) is really strong and, at the same time, very troublesome. Feeling inspired is amazing, but realizing you don`t actually have time to put those ideas into practice… well, that is quite depressing.

There is always something to do for which something else remains undone. This is how I would summarize the last couple of years.

I am dreaming of time. Time to wake up to days that know no rush, when “pe indelete” (as we, Romanians, say) is the only rhythm to follow. The English translation, “leisurely” doesn’t do justice to this old expression. I wouldn`t say “leisurely“, but rather “naturally“.

These are some of the most recurrent thoughts I have and Sundays are perfect to put things into perspective.
