As soon as Easter ends, I feel a pleasant emptiness. There are no more worries, preparations, fuss - all that remains is peace.
I love these few days after. When you can finally breathe. Sit with a cup of tea, remember how we laughed at the table. Scroll through your head the words you heard from your loved ones. Remember who called, who hugged you.
These moments are the most valuable. I try not to rush back to everyday life. I even turn off my phone for a bit, turn off the news. I just want to be in silence. In this silence I find myself again. And from it comes the strength to start a new week, new things, a new life.
