It's all for me
I keep trying and failing to write about my current career (or lack of it), but for some reason I can’t quite find the words. So, here’s a list of all the little things I do just for me to help me fill my hours. And look I haven’t included any social media scrolling in here because it doesn’t sound romantic but rest assured, there is plenty of that going on too.
Renting a bike just to cycle aimlessly around Victoria Park. Bonus points if it’s an electric one.
Going to Stratford Westfield on my own and smelling all the new M&S perfumes. This is working out better than when I would go to Liberty because it’s closer and I can actually buy them if I want.
A spin class that’s so loud it hurts my face and I can’t keep up but never mind! It’s dark!
Swimming in the Lido but - more specifically - getting out and allowing myself to dry in the sun. Not allowing myself to compulsively cover my body with a towel.
Travelling a silly distance to buy a mad flavoured matcha/coffee I saw a 19-year-old review on Tiktok.
Getting an expensive bikini wax just because I love chatting with the woman who does it, and I have discovered it gives me an endorphins rush.
Planning on going to the gym and going.
Planning on going to the gym and not going.
This was a really fun exercise to do (thanks Annie) and makes me feel better about my lack of career because sure I might not be earning money but do you need money to rent a bike and cycle around a park (yes) or buy cheap perfumes (also yes)? I’d argue NO you don’t! Ok bye x
