Sometimes I like to sit and think. Other times I just like to sit There’s this saying in Italian: Dolce far niente. It doesn’t have a direct translation, the closest is probably “pleasant idleness”. I’ve heard others describe it as the beauty of boredom. And if there is anything summertime makes me appreciate, it’s this. Life gets so hectic sometimes that we convince ourselves we have to constantly be doing something. But I think there’s a certain beauty about laying around at home all day and reading a book, and eating your favorite food, and staying in sweats. It’s these moments where you can really slow down. I think it’s time we all started appreciating these everyday activities that make life beautiful. For me, it’s probably going to be the avocado toast I’m going to make later.
