Yesterday, I sat down in a cafe, ordered food and, for the first time in what felt like weeks, breathed. I didn't have any schoolwork with me because I was only going to do one shift until someone called in sick. I didn't really have anything with me, other than a jumper and a change of shoes. No notebook, no music, just me, sat in front of a veggie burger. It was a relief, I won't lie. Even when I'm not at work or at my desk studying, I've been socialising or running errands. At first it was nice to be doing so much after a long summer of inactivity, but I needed to stop. And really stop, not call a friend to catch up, or snatch 5mins in a quiet park, or walk the long way round for a quick break. I'm tired, and I need to switch off more often, or I just know that I'm going to crash, hard, soon. This blog is for my downtime, to ramble about things I love and the places I'm discovering around Bristol; now that I'm starting to settle into a routine, I'll have more time for this sort of thing.
The song below is pop-punk, so different to other things I've posted here, but after the EP's pay-what-you-want release a couple of days ago, this is a song I've listened to a lot. Mostly for the lines "'cause I'm a hero after fi-ve" and "burning daylight at both ends", which seem fitting lately, but also because I feel somehow stronger when I'm running around Bristol listening to something with so much conviction and badass-ery.
