Oooh, this gave me goosebumps Salena. It reminds me of my own youthful hours spent traipsing round Camden Market, studying the styles, faces and demeanours of other young people who seemed to have it all together compared to my sheltered suburban charms or at least they were having fun exploring identities and experiences.

Those "ordinary glimmers of joy" can sometimes take what feels like a lifetime to reveal themselves huh. I was too in my head to truly appreciate the glimmers at the time so, after much work and therapy, it feels good to look back with reframed lenses.

Your video footage is mesmerising, great backdrop to your words. Thank you for sharing x

this is your reminder to please try to remember the lost hours and the nothing days and make space for ordinary glimmers of joy as they could be illuminating some of the best times of your life and you’d not even know until so many years later

Brilliant advice to anyone feeling trapped in what could be the mundane. Thankyou
