Cardigan Obssession

I was recently having a conversation about whether blogging is “dead” and how it seems less relevant in contrast to the exciting world of engaging, short-form content on social media platforms.

Pause

The world is on pause as we navigate through the Covid-19 Pandemic. A push to protect ourselves, our loved ones and the most vulnerable in our communities. A coming together by staying apart. With the ever-changing situation the globe is in, I have been looking to the constants in nature to soothe and comfort. The air is cleaner, the birdsong is chirpier, the world is quieter.
