me ignoring winter all winter long 🌞 finding the balance between being here (all here and grateful) + being dedicated to a vision elsewhere. realising that this is so difficult for me but a work in progress. also a work in progress, posing for myself without locking eyes with tourists stopping to watch 🌴
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
also friends,
i have recently been admitted into the long-legged gang as well as the self-timer advocate association. took me by surprise too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

everything i ate in romaaaa/ vegan in rome 🌍🌱 🍝 travelling while vegan is an unacknowledged skill that i’m finally talking about on my blog. before we went i prepared myself FULLY (for once) and i’ve set it up for fellow plant-based travellers looking to live good in rome. on this particular trip i had plenty of options and i’m sharing everything i ate and drank 🥂in the city of delicious carbs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

also, happy monday. hope you’re moving softly through it and trying, above everything, to stay full. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

(2/2) found new favourite corners of this 🌍 , new sides of amara that only exist in spanish, new things to manifest. still smiling to myself at random memories about last weekend. but i am not going to do the whole thing like i thought i would. storytelling is my love, and there are a few friends and family i want to tell all the stories to, funny ones, miscommunications that my wanderings took me to, stories on stage, stories about the lovely couple from sheffield who came to me as soon as i got off the stage to speak to me about my poem about my sheffield-bred grandad. for now, part of the journey of self-care is preservation and contentment in my silence (for now). many thanks to the many beautiful souls that i met who know who they are and what they individually did for me: juan, josé, natalia, javier, antonio, joe, joelle, eva, berta, menez, silvia and isla. and the lady who saw me taking my selfie and offered to take a pic because of the beautiful colours and the contrast 🦋 also. deffo will put something on the blog, finished writing this post and realised how irresistible it is. lool. it will happen eventually. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

(1/2) goes without saying that i’ve had the best moments of 2019 in the last few days at cosmopoética 💛. i have so many stories and met and made friends with so many phenomenal writers and lovers of literature, all who appreciated my poetry¡¡¡ truly left full. it is surreal to think of the places my words have taken + will take me to. to have my poems translated on stage and my words translated for newspapers/ major news channels in còrdoba is something i never expected this year. back in birmingham now but my heart is definitely still being artsy in 33 degree weather making friends and sharing poems. @cosmopoetica thanks for the opportunity, the poems, the MEMORIES and the new friends💛

i want a getaway to a faraway, hideaway island in paradise where the air and ocean is it’s cleanest but i also want to watch the sunset over the city skyline. also, i want to sit quietly people-watching but i also want to speak for hours to someone funny in their home language. i want to fall asleep on one of these moroccan rugs but also want hot sand and sun on my foot bottom. ideally, i want extended/eternal (paid) leave to go somewhere on residency or something where i’m expected to sit down and read books. i also want to end each night with a projector so i can admire the camera roll of the day but then again i want to end the day with my windows down, on a warm night where i didn’t even touch my phone/camera at all. this kind of indecisiveness we authorise 🌍 lets stay with that wide appetite for life, happy weekend 🥂🥂🥂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

spent some time revisiting my favourite travel stories and encounters from roma 🇮🇹 my blog is full of travel diary moments (storyteller can’t do nothing else, sorry) but this particular trip brought around some of my favourite moments with strangers. also aunty hawwa was there, blurrily documenting the thing with me, to make things even better. link in bio 🌍

morning 🌿 things to make the heart full this week:
• a new day. your work, purpose, voice, breath is still necessary.
• there is some weird and unique part of yourself that you have forgotten you admire. find it and hold it close without validation or permission.
• a new week is a new intention. live intentionally and be present enough to incorporate a goal that will speak to your annual intentions as 2019 draws to a close.
• it is a new week but same energy persists, i.e. no mek noone tek yuh fi eediat, please 🍃
• a new adventure awaits. (always) be it locally or in another part of God’s world. hold to the idea that you are a traveller, the world is yours to see and experience, there is something to learn from the earth and her people. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
this photo was taken in Trastevere in Roma where we wandered into this little boutique before it closed and had a beautiful and honest discussion with the owner, Ali, about being part of your diaspora, being creative and making it work even when you miss home. life is beautiful when you expect it to be. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
go have a full week. #mondaymotivation #traveller 📸 | @hawwaisthesource__ 💍 visit the store | @opifex.trastevere ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
