A life update

2 years. 7 months. A lifetime worth of events. A blink and here we are already, 2 years and 7 months older.

I can't quite remember why exactly I stopped writing here. I started using Instagram a whole lot more. I started feeling like blogging wasn't quite a thing anymore, and all the efforts of keeping up with a blog not so worth it considering my following. Then there's also the fact that 2016 was a year of nightmare for me. My life crashed, I forgot how to live and breathe and smile and get up in the morning and get to sleep at night. Which is really hard to hide on a blog where words are involved (and much easier to hide on a platform full of pretty pretty staged photos). As you can tell by the fact that I am writing today, I made it through. 

And then I started all over again. Quit my job and field of work, excluded the toxic people from my life, tried new things, explored more. I'm still looking really. For who I want to be, how to make it happen, where, with whom. It's a slow process, and as I have come to find out, slow is the way to go. Knitting is still a big part of my life, and I am so very grateful for every stitch that healed me and every person in this amazing community that without knowing it kept me standing with their support and kindness. I've designed a little bit, podcasted on the most irregular basis (sorry guys) and made more knitwear than I have opportunities to wear. I've been all the way to Finland for a festival, and dream of Edimbourgh for next year. 

Will you be there?

I try every day to do a better job of taking care of myself. Books, yoga, good healthy food, meditation, travels, so many little things that make up my days and keep me up. So many topics I hope I can talk more about on this little blogs. Words. Those I have missed. Just like stitch after stitch can heal, so can words on a page. And I have missed writing. There is some kind of magic to the fact that once it is written, you can let go of it. And even more magic is the fact that maybe somehow, by sharing with others, you suddenly realize that you are not so alone after all.

With love, 

Lea.
