stubborn love.

Winter is kind of a stubborn love isn’t it?

I’m being dramatic, but it totally is.

You get these good days (Christmas! Snow! Hot Chocolate!), and then you get these really dark, cold, forever long days where you don’t do much of anything and feel a lot like a nothing in this crazy mix of seasons.

Dramatic, I know, but completely true. For me at least.

I’m ready for spring already, but from the looks of this past weekend, winter is just not ready to budge yet.

STUBBORN, that winter.

And blah.

Anyway, to help with the winter blues I’ve been pouring all my energy into this etsy shop (opening Friday!) which in turn means I haven’t had much left for the blog lately. I’m kind of bummed about it— this not having time and energy for writing and story telling, but know it’ll all even out soon enough. Also, winter isn’t the best match for me and inspiration, so I’m fine with taking it slow for awhile. Slow and steady till we get to spring, that’s how we’re going to do it around here.

I took a handful of pictures in Boston after the storm (which was pretty sweet), but instead of sharing my photos I thought I’d lead you to some of my favorite Boston friends who did some great photo recaps of their own experiences with Nemo…

BEHOLD!

THE BLIZZARD SNOW!!

Preeeeetty sweet, like I said.

And also, while we’re on the topic of stubborn love (and the entire reason for this post)…

THIS BAND:

And more specifically,

THIS SONG.

I can’t stop listening. It’s been months and months, and I JUST cannot stop listening.

Most recently, The Lumineers came out with a music video for “Stubborn Love”, which I A-D-O-R-E:

“Stubborn Love”, The Lumineers

I cried, if you’re wondering.

Big tears.

It could just be winter making me emotional, but I don’t know. It’s sad and happy, but mostly sad. That kind of feeling that hits you right where it hurts, and then hits you again where it hurts so good.

Do you know what I mean?

Anyways, this one’s been on repeat for me for forever. What’s on repeat for you?
