Even when what we really want is a quiet night in, warm food, phone on Do Not Disturb, maybe a bit of journaling (hello this blog!) or trash TV, there’s still that pull. That voice that whispers,
“But what if something happens?”
What if you miss a moment, a connection, a memory?

Don’t get me wrong, I love a good night out. I’ve danced my way through some of the best moments of my life. Some of my favourite people create those spaces for us to escape and connect.

But sometimes the connection I need most is with myself.
And that can be the hardest one to prioritise, especially when no one sees it. There’s no tag, no post, no story. Just presence.

Choosing rest doesn’t mean rejecting the party.
It just means remembering that your energy deserves a guest list too.
