I want Trouble Will Find Me now okay?

Definitely do visit! It’s a gorgeous city -  and especially worth visiting in nice weather, as there are tons of parks and squares full of cafés and quirky tea places.

I’ve definitely joined the fan club :D When I lived up north my go to place for taking friends and family visiting England was York; I think Bath is going to become the Southern version.

Aw, I wish I’d known! We could have gone there instead of Yo Sushi (which I do enjoy, but there’s one of those everywhere :P). PS: Kings of Convenience next week already, yay. Excited :D

• Illness. I had to call in sick for the first time since starting my job today (stomach bug, hopefully not food poisoning), and although I know it’s ridiculous to feel guilty and like I’m failing, somehow I still do.
• Anxiety. I had a really lovely week - on Monday I saw Phoenix and it was one of the best shows I’d been on in ages; Tuesday was WBN and I had a ton of fun passing on books I love; Wednesday I had a lovely and frankly staggering surprise. These were all good things, but somehow by Thursday all I wanted to do was hide under the bed. I know that feeling overwhelmed by good things isn’t all that uncommon, but it always leaves me feeling like there’s something fundamentally wrong with me.
• Reaching out and why it’s so hard. The past few days I’ve been feeling like I could really use a friend, but it’s hard to reach out to specific people when everyone has so much on their plate already and you know that your emotional needs may very well be the last straw for them at that moment. Asking directly for support is something I struggle with a lot.
• All the times I fail to “be brave and be kind” and slip into small-mindedness instead.
• This post and the wisdom of hitting “publish” when I’m done here.
• Writing and when I’ll ever get it done. It’s hard to make it fit into the current structure of my life, and yet I know that if I gave it up I’d feel empty.
• Music, and how having it on all morning kept anxiety and guilt and even physical misery to some extent at bay. I should do this more often.
