embracing myself - days alone in a mountain cottage

I allude often to seeing life as a set of ‘chapters’ to a storybook, but I wanted to unpack that a bit more in this video. Obviously, this topic isn’t about romanticizing unhealthy or unsafe situations or using escapism as a crutch (I hope that goes without saying, as I find it ineffective to fill each video with many disclaimers - I wouldn’t have room for anything else if I did!). It’s about finding balance and enjoying art and imagination to the fullest and letting it imbue your world with magic ✨✨I am a lover of fantasy and fairytales, of movies and books and music that transport me to other worlds or enhance my own… of romanticizing aspects of daily life. This is an open discussion on how those things can be potentially very healthy outlets for those who enjoy them.

"Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature—the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter." - Silent Spring
