When someone asks if I’m busy and I know I need time to myself, I’ve learned to say, “I’m sorry, I already have a commitment.” And that commitment is to me. Not because I don’t love the people in my life. But because a quiet night at home, tending to my space and my peace and surrounded by my memories, IS the commitment sometimes. We’re so quick to explain ourselves. To justify why we can’t. But you don’t owe anyone a reason for choosing stillness. storykeeperstyle ritualsofhome • • • • • • • Vintage Decor | Home Inspiration | Collected Home | Traditional Home | Sentimental Style | Curating Joy | The Sentimental Decorator | Joyful Rituals of Home | Sentimental Home | Homes with a Story thesentimentaldecorator sentimentalstyle meaningfulhomedecor
