Grateful

Three One Six

It’s been one of those soul satisfying weekends this weekend. Saw two brilliant films as part of the New Zealand International Film Festival – Animals and The Farewell (strong casts and beautiful cinematography) and also consumed delicious food and drinks.

I’m really thankful for K tonight. We had some incredibly searching and deep and honest conversations over dinner and drinks tonight – about living in our twenties with all the baggage we internalise and how to live well through it all. She’s one of those people who will not shy away from genuine relationships and who continuously seeks and gives herself honestly and openly in the pursuit of sincerity. It’s rare to find people like her, and I’m glad that I have.

One One Six

I’ve had the best day with one of my very good friends and tomorrow he flies to Istanbul.

It’s a weird moment in time – the dusk of his time in Wellington before resuming his new normal overseas. Goodbyes are hard, but also make me very grateful for having relationships and connections that make it difficult to part ways. It’s like Winnie the Pooh says – how lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.

Thirty Five

Picture this- you’re in a car with two of your best friends, driving down a windy road with the windows down, wind rushing in, the stereo playing songs that make you want to sing and dance, beautiful views of the sea and coves on your right. That was me today.

Days like today make me feel so alive and grateful for life.
