On Instagram I ran into a quote that perfectly describes me right now: ‘that bit between Christmas and New Year where you don’t know what day it is, who you are and what you are supposed to be doing’. I’ve been 100% on a relaxing mode, so I don’t even know what to write now. What movies I’ve been watching? How much chocolate I’ve been eating? How many naps I’ve taken? Well that could be a start. I’ve watched Despicable Me, Niko & the way to the stars, Wreck-it Ralph, It’s a Wonderful Life and Agatha Christie series. Chocolate eaten, quite a lot. Naps taken, haven’t counted. Tomorrow morning I’m heading back to the city with Minnie, it’s time to act like a proper human again. Wear something else than PJ’s and eat something else than Christmas food. How sad, but I’ll try to convince myself tomorrow it’s only refreshing.
The best thing about Christmas was definitely being with family and taking it easy. I hope all of you had a lovely Christmas too! I know some might get depressed around Christmas, on many different reasons, but one could be because of social media. Seeing how everyone else is having the most perfect time, getting the most luxurious presents and then maybe comparison. Just a little reminder: non of that matters. No designer bag in the world will give you peace, happiness, anything that matters in life. That’s a fact. And if you didn’t have the best Christmas, for whatever reason, I’m sending good thoughts on your 2018. Time with loved ones and moments to remember. 🙂
Anyone else feeling the post-Christmas laziness?
Instagramissa törmäsin lainaukseen joka kuvastaa oloani täydellisesti: ‘that bit between Christmas and New Year where you don’t know what day it is, who you are and what you are supposed to be doing’. Olen lepuuttanut aivojani niin hyvin, etten tiedä toimivatko ne enää. Tai onnistunko kirjoittamaan mitään mielenkiintoista, kun mitään mainitsemisen arvoista ei ole tapahtunut. Katsotut leffat parin päivän aikana: Itse Ilkimys, Niko Lentäjän poika, Räyhä Ralf ja Ihmeellinen on elämä. Suklaata syöty: aika paljon. Päiväunia otettu: enpä ole pysynyt laskuissa. En yhtään muistanut miten hyviä animaatioelokuvatkin voivat olla, seuraavaksi nähtävä Itse Ilkimys 3 ja se paljon puhuttu Frozen. Mutta mukavat pari päivää siis olleet, on saanut ihan vain olla. Huomenna olisi tarkoitus lähteä jo aamusta takaisin Helsinkiin, pukea jotain kunnollista päälle ja esittää taas kunnon kansalaista. Olo on kuin ylikeitetyllä makaronilla, että onnea vaan yritykseen. Ei vaan kyllähän se tästä, välillä on hyvä heittää niin vapaalle että arkikin tuntuu taas virkistävältä. Yritän ainakin uskotella itselleni että siltä se huomenna tuntuu.
Toivottavasti teilläkin oli ihana joulu! Jos ei ollut, niin kaikkea hyvää siinä tapauksessa uuteen vuoteen. Joulu ei kaikille ole helpointa aikaa, monistakin ymmärrettävistä eri syistä, mutta erityisesti somea selaillessa huomasin toivovani ettei kukaan ottaisi paineita täydellisestä joulusta. Oma Youtuben tilausseinäni näytti juuri olevan pullollaan lahjojen esittelyvideoita merkkilaukkuineen ja kenkineen, ja tämä ajatus nyt vain jäi mieleen, toive ettei kukaan ajattelisi minkään materian tekevän onnellista joulua.
Kellään muulla joulun jälkeislaiskuutta?

Definitely me! My husband and I woke up at 11am yesterday! Spent the rest of the day playing our favourite PlayStation game from our childhood (crash team racing – haha) and reading on my new kindle and eating lots of chocolate ?? please share what you’re reading? I’ve finished “Uncommon Type” by Tom Hanks, “Turtles all the way down” by John Green and now I’ve started “the rules of magic” by Alice Hoffman! Love them all!

So true! I also had the most relaxing days at home. PJ’s at home, playing Wii, watching old movies. But the best thing ever was my Social Media break – I felt kind of refreshed now <3
