Pray Eat Slay

Some weekends are loud and exciting. Others are just quiet enough to hear your own thoughts.

Last weekend my daughter and I took another little adventure for ramen and anime shopping. The ramen was definitely better than what we had a few weeks ago, but not enough for us to say we would absolutely come back. The anime store itself was actually really cool with three different levels to explore. Most of the books were in German, which honestly made complete sense considering we are living in Germany. Even though I couldn’t read most of them, I still found a few titles I want to look into later.

My daughter is still on the hunt for the perfect new keychain, but we did find two adorable little bear keychains by Bon Ton Toys that she absolutely loved. Seeing her smile over something so simple honestly made the entire outing worth it. Now the mission is finding a mall because she wants to start exploring a completely new style. Think anime street fashion in Japan inspired.

The rain completely ruined my plans to finally tackle the yard again, so honestly most of the week felt gray and slow. And somewhere in between all of that, I kept finding myself going back and forth in my mind about love, relationships, and what I actually want my life to feel like moving forward.

But maybe the biggest win of the week was this: I was in bed by 9 PM last night and asleep by 9:10. The sun was literally still out.

No overthinking.
No doom scrolling.
No forcing productivity.

Just rest.

And maybe that says more about where I am in life right now than anything else.
