Sometimes life can get heavy. Things can build up and weigh down on your shoulders, making it hard to stand tall. When life feels like this, try to think of some simple things that bring you even a hint of joy and do them.

Me? I hopped in my best friend’s car, and we drove out to Bray on a cold, dark Monday evening. We dressed comfy casual and as we strolled along the seaside, hot chocolatey crepes in hand talking about everything, we felt like we were in the opening scene of a coming-of-age movie. On the drive home, we turned the music up and turned the world off, living completely in the moment in the tiny, music-filled car on the motorway. I got out of the car a little lighter, my shoulders a little straighter.

We’ll never be totally weightless in this world so bask in the moments that make you feel like it.
