release control :)

so the other day i realised (and im still a little hesistant to admit this) but i really enjoy being in control.. not quite a control freak - that's a little too harsh... but i just like knowing what's going on around me :)

epiphany hit me when sitting outside (beauty of ct sunshine and ssm's combined: code chilled vibes), and having my back turned to the walkway i couldn't bring myself to put BOTH my earphones in because i just could not deal with not knowing what was going on around me..

i also make sure i sit facing the entrance or where i can see most people when in a restaurant.. i'd like to put that down to "loving watching people" (which i really do), but in this case that is not entirely true.

and as good as control is, my challenge this week is to completely let free and drown out what's going on around me to immerse myself in happiness :)

on the topic of happiness - when in Cape Town, make a trip to Charley's Bakery - what a gem! beautiful cakes and biscuits, divine coffees, even teacup chandeliers! i'm a fan :)

on that note, check out this beautiful little blog - http://www.cityeatlove.blogspot.com/ - beaut of a friend reviewing restaurants in CT - love it!

life really does not turn out the way you expect most times, but that's what keeps it ever so exciting :) so let your hair down, run in the rain (but keep warm, no point catching flu to spoil the moment), be wildly spontaneous, eat peanut butter out of the jar, and put both earphones in with your back on the world for a while :)
