I've gone to a few eat out places, and while they are all at reduced capacity, I've had such good experiences! The customer service is really good, and no one is rushing us. I hope everything's going well in canada with the pandemic and everything 🙂 x

I've felt this whole time like I had to be busy, and have jumped from one thing to the next. I pretty much always have something going on, but for the Fall I'm trying to do less and be intentional about setting time aside to not be busy. It's harder than it sounds haha.
Restaurant servers even now during the pandemic try to usher you out for the next table, especially with all establishments being at half capacity. There's so much pressure to eat quickly and leave. Paris sounds so nice..

I know! It's so hard to not feel productive with slowing down so much, but as things are slowly speeding up a bit, i'm definitely easing into it all. Thanks so much for reading and commenting 🙂 x

It's been so exhausting with the pace of life starting to speed up! I sometimes can't wrap my head around how much I used to do when everything was back to normal! I'm definitely easing myself into a new normal. Thanks so much for reading and commenting 🙂 x

omg, welcome! Living in Vietnam sounds like a dream, especially over here in the east coast of the US where things are already starting to speed up. I'm so sorry for the late response, things have been a little crazy for me. But, thank you so much for reading and commenting 🙂 x

It is definitely one of my favorite things about Paris and Europe as a whole. Being a Gemini I am all about balance and while I love to be busy, I do appreciate the quiet moments and I hope if there is any light to come from all of the darkness right now, it is that. So much love to you lady <3

I find I am constantly having to remind myself that there is no need to rush things! Living in the moment is really the best thing to do!

I hope you're well <3

I completely agree. Lockdown made me love the slow pace of life and I miss that a bit now things are busier! I live in Vietnam though and fortunately the vibe here is super chilled, especially in terms of visiting cafes and just losing hours of your day to a good book or getting work done with no one bothering you at all! That's lovely and certainly helps me to cling on to that slower pace.
Niobe x
