YESTERDAY WE WENT TO VONDELPARK (And Happy New Year!!!)

Hi, Guys!

Yes, it's been over a month. Today I woke up feeling inspired (which feels incredibly amazing), and felt like writing about yesterday. About feelings.

Since the new year started, things have seemed increasingly grim (corona- speaking) and adding this to the fact that my never ending research project from the Master's hasn't felt as magical as I thought, I can confidently say January has been pretty hectic.

That is why when on Saturday night my amour suggested getting out of Haarlem and going to Amsterdam my eye lights became even brighter. On Sunday (yesterday), in order to give a fair farewell to the worst January of all time, we went to Vondelpark, in Amsterdam.

It was like a throwback. It hit us deep. It haunted us in the most romantic way. 

We walked around the park for 3-ish hours, finding ourselves immersed in a bubble none of us wanted to "uscire". It was magic. People gathering in an open space, dogs (many!!!!) playing with one another like I have never seen (which made me miss my doggo, Kiwi, unbelievably), and a cold sun kissing everyone on the cheeks.

We would ramble around the park, get lost in some of the little paths you find around the main one, and we would talk about life, about us, the cold, and the happiness we were experiencing. We felt home for the first time in a while. Like nothing had changed.

Recharging. Re-vitalizing. 

We needed a shot of energy. A shot of positivity in such dark times.

So thank you, Vondelpark, and also thank you to everyone there yesterday. You made our day.
