week 51, ft. a freehand embroidery I did earlier this year. ⁣ This year has been a lifetime but I’m somehow still surprised that it’s almost at an end. Make it make sense. ⁣ This week, I took an unplanned sick day, and it made such a difference that the next day I graded, ordered groceries, and picked up a book (three things I’d been too anxious and burned out to do all week). I attended a games night I usually bail on because I’m too exhausted. It was a reminder that sometimes we’re not doing as okay as we tell ourselves we are, and that it’s okay to stop for a minute. Everything will still be there when we get back. 💛 via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CI-yPIuA55Q/
