A walk through Brooklyn Central Park – Level 3

28th April 2020 By Jonelle Leave a Comment

After weeks and weeks and weeeeeeeeks at home, we finally moved from Level 4 into Level 3 which means we are allowed to DRIVE to places for walks. We live in Brooklyn, it’s incredible, we have the best view from our house but that also means we are surrounded by hills and walking is a pain.

With a small child, we rarely manage to walk far enough to actually enjoy the outside world.  Lock down level 3, which allows us to use our car and stay local, means we could indulge our child who has been begging to walk in a forest and drive the 5 minutes to Brooklyn Central Park and spend an hour wandering around in the forest. Perfection.

We found this beautiful butterfly lying on the ground, Oden was heartbroken that it had died. He picked it up and admired how beautiful it is “mommy, it has beautiful wings” and then we walked on and he gave me a lecture about the teenage kids that were playing on the playground. I was really surprised at how disciplined he was about walking right past it.

This walk was exactly what my mental well being needed.

Hi, I’m Jonelle

I write things, I make art, I like good food, wine, a whisky after a rough day and I’m always up for a new adventure. I believe we can all contribute to a better world and we should do it while living authentically. I answer to “mommy,” live in Wellington New Zealand with my family and work for Local Goverment.

People can be so critical of tattoos. Hell, if I'm People can be so critical of tattoos. Hell, if I'm honest, even I've judged People with tattoos. How can they get "that" or "what were they thinking" because you know, human. But I tell you what, I've never felt more like myself. I love my tattoos. I love my body covered in tattoos. And yes, when I'm old, they'll be wrinkled and sunken and you know what, I don't care because it'll still be me. This collection of random ink on my body may not be your taste and that's absolutely and completely okay. You're allowed your opinion but I don't care. Because I look in the mirror and I love myself. More than when I was younger, had no grey hair, was skinny with legs for days. I never felt like me. This older, grey haired person covered in tattoos and rolls loves herself so go on, judge. Say what you like but I love me and that's enough for me.
