I WANTED TO TELL YOU // Day 6, 31 March 2020

March 31, 2020 in 2020, Parentheses

⁠I woke up heavy and down, despite waking up to my lovely partner.  Forced myself to get up and put on my workout gear.  Went for a walk around the streets.  I began quite tearful, my head full of feeling locked in by the lockdown: fck all this smallness. ⁠

⁠

As my body moved though, climbing stairs and steeps paths, my head began to clear.  I saw cute chickens clucking, gentle flowers swaying, adolescent kereru playing silly buggers, and a particularly gorgeous house putting its shoulders back and showing itself off very well in the sunshine. By the time I got home I felt good enough to smash out a workout which left me feeling sweaty and wonderful.  The day continued well, with yum food for lunch and a lovely woman calling me to discuss some work we're going to do once this rahui is done.  Last but most definitely not least,  I may or may not have participated in some very delicious sunshiney kisses. ⁠

⁠

It was a bloody good day, and I had my arms wide open to receive all the beauty and warmth that came my way. I soaked it all in. I'll take all the happiness I can get right now, because no matter how you look at it, this corner's a tough one.⁠

⁠

I wanted to tell you⁠

love⁠

that⁠

happiness⁠

is found⁠

in the⁠

smallest⁠

of⁠

corners.⁠
