a friendly reminder

I forgot how much I missed blogs until Naomi approached me to be a contributor for Hazy Days. 

I remember the pre-Instagram days when I would spend hours reading through posts about travel, recently curated playlists, various thoughts and feelings from both favorite and random blogs. And at the end of it, rather than feeling FOMO, it would leave me feeling inspired to travel to another country or grow an avocado plant.

Maybe this sense of missing blogs so much comes from nostalgia. Maybe because since being on lockdown, I have never had so much time at home since college. Or maybe it’s not just me and there are more people out there that have missed blogs just as much as I do. 

Now as I write this, life is slowly going back to normal. I hope that even in the post-COVID world, I can still keep that sense of slow living - to wake up and enjoy a cup of coffee on the balcony, stare at the ceiling and listen to a really good playlist, or tie-dye my socks just because. I hope that Hazy Days will be a reminder and inspiration to everyone (myself included) that even when the masks come off, to remember to stop and smell the flowers.
