Le Temps de L'Amour // July Vibes
July has been a month of maximum beauty and love. The sun shined onto my skin and through the windows of my home in an indescribable fashion. The air was heavy as the world became still. My heart pounded with the buzz of the lady bugs and the sunflowers swayed with my breath. The trees seemed to be singing and dancing as they moved with the summer breeze. Life has simply been good.
Memorable moments:
Getting my hair cut (the betty bangs and bob are a nice change).
Coming out of the closet as lesbian to my mother (not the easiest or best experience, but important none the less).
Listening to Françoise Hardy and watching magnificent foreign films.
Lazy days lying outstretched on my queen sized bed + making videos and podcasts from the comfort of my bedroom.
All while becoming a more authentic person.
