Summer break from The City

8/29/2018 7:53 AM summermallorca

This summer holidays were a parentheses in my life. It was a BREAK from THE CITY. Before getting on the plane I was quite stressed and torn in between work stuff and my apartment stuff that needed to be done. I was so stressed I had trouble sleeping for weeks and all I could think about were the upcoming holidays. It is true I need that kind of city stress to feel 100% me (whenever I visit a very quiet place, like Andalusia, I get nervous from not feeling any stressful vibe in town!), but boooy this was too much.

When I jumped on the plane I immediately fell asleep so all my worries were put on standby and did not want to think about any of these until I had to come back. Now, facing reality, I am again worried for some stuff though happy to have worked out half of it already.

I am trying not to worry too much (impossible) and have my social life back after the holidays, which were spent solely in Mallorca (while all the friends were traveling or in Barcelona), so this week I plan on doing stuff with my friends, visiting my parents, etc. while the apartment stuff is lying there like "this needs to be done", piling up together with more and more thoughts.

In short, this summer has been a blast. Not only I got to fully disconnect from work but I also spent a great time with my family, who I see once I year. From all the times I have visited my Majorcan cousins, I think this is the one I had the most fun, I mean, we mixed relax with adventure, leisure, and lots of gossip. I DID feel we were in a Sex and the City episode! I always said I wish they lived closer to me so I could see them more often, but truth is, whenever we see each other is not awkward at all and we start gossiping from were we left off, like friends from the same group.

Also, I had enough already of summer and this heat. I think it is now time for Autumn to step in, bring it on with the leaves on the floor, chilly evenings, cardigans and blazers, and the smell of chestnuts and sweet potatoes on the street while we rock our outfits with a Pumpkin Spice Latte on the hand (I know it sounds so typical). Believe me summer in Barcelona and the Balearic Islands can be tiring!
