⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
budapest, january 2019 - started the year off travelling because january in the UK is always a tough time for me. i think this acted as a form of self-preservation and a chance to start as i mean to go. feels like years ago but it was my first ever solo trip and really prepared me for what would later be my firt long-haul solo trip. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
italy, rome. may 2019 - finally got to see the romantic city! rome was beautiful and i saw enough but would still go back. hopefully with more sun. had some of my favourite travel encounters in this city. our lizzie mcguire inspired trip was full of pizza, pasta, wine and photography. 
córdoba, spain. September 2019 - a whole blessing. got flewed out for the cosmopoetica festival, made loads of friends, spoke loads of spanish (even though i haven’t for years), got immersed in international poetry and i fell in love with the south of spain and the characteristic slow pace. i feel like i’ll be back.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
jamaica, november 2019 - paradise. spent almost two weeks solo in my motherland, reconnecting with myself and the land. travelling to jamaica and being brave enough to see home was the most beautiful achievement of 2019. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
where did you go in 2019? drop the flags! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Instagram post 2193901811188995947_3319471879 a note on 2019:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
what a year. someone somewhere on twitter wrote that since 2017 each year has felt like a decade. i don’t think i could disagree, for better or for worse. i was completely unsure and sceptical of 2019 at the start. i thought it wouldn’t live up to my dreams. it did (thank Yah) but the more important thing is that it stretched me. and taught me about who i actually am. i feel like since mid-year i have been different to myself, quietly brand new and updated. (they never teach you about that, becoming a new person to yourself).it honestly feels like amara has been refurbished and reopened and i’m still here refamiliarising myself. some years do that. i’m finding the balance between keeping up with self and chasing manifested self . i’ve learnt you do one at a time. don’t say it enough, but i’ve learnt that both those periods are equally important and depend on eachother. i’m not as reflective at this time of year as i usually am, but i’m happy with this year and all the pressure it applied to me. how has 2019 felt to you? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Instagram post 2189541407088205542_3319471879 i’m so proud of myself. and genuinely inspired by me. 2019 has been beautiful as a whole with a few changes and challenges - all of which have worked out for my best. the biggest test of them all has been travelling solo to jamaica. what a test of intuition and inner peace it has been. i didn’t book this trip as a solo trip. i only realised that jamaica was going to have to be a solo trip a little over 3 weeks before flying. God has a way of divine cancellation and even though at first i was scared, anxious, not financially sure it was a move i wanted to take, reassuring my family even though i was still reassuring myself- i’m so glad i did this. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
i finally had some time this sunday to attend to my thoughts around my trip. some conversations with people i love yesterday revealed that i haven’t processed the trip in whole. i spent 3 weeks before the trip stressing, destressing and managing my longest holiday so far alone with a bit of a bruised heart but a positive one. i then spent most of my time in jamaica holding my own so that it could be seen that i am strong, i was also hyper-observant and holding space to be aware of my environment but being at one with it, at last. i then came home and had to readjust back to life. i’m always super reflective and there’s loads that i’ve had to let myself absorb, loads of new characteristics that are now mine. none of them matter beyond my personal knowledge and whoever is close enough to be impacted but i want to share something for those of us who have had to become self-reliant. — do not be afraid or ashamed of self-reliance. doing it alone or solo is not void or lack. you’re not a new level of brave or highly independent. you’re doing you. it feels natural and it is a gift you’ll need and more than this you need to stand firm, for yourself. just so you can show up as a greater version of yourself each time and be responsible for that sacred kind of growth. don’t be afraid or bitter about having yourself.

Instagram post 2171884915845651664_3319471879 🌿 haven’t written a book post in a while so i took the last days of black history month to combine poetry, books and black writers in one gorgeous post. head over to the link in the bio to read my (week old 😂💛) reflections on this black history month reading list.

p.s. a lot of my faves and friends feature because i’m surrounded by phenomenal writers 😍
