finding joy in the dark

Do you like the shorter days?

The days getting shorter used to be devastating for me, but I’m starting to come around to shorter days and longer nights. It makes the evenings feel cozier, and longer, and the world feels quieter after dark. Having time in the evening has been really great for me, creatively. During the day, I’m in my office, ‘working’, but at night I cozy up with my sketchbook, turn on the TV - lately I’ve been rewatching Gilmore Girls for the millionth time - and just relax and draw. It’s been so nice feeling like I’m all tucked away from the world, and as the days get shorter, my cozy time gets longer. ⁠
