MONTH AHEAD // MARCH 2021
A PEEK AT WHAT'S COMING UP THIS MONTH // MARCH 2021
Editor’s Note //
March is one of my favorite months. I might be a bit biased because it’s my birthday month (Ok, yeah, I’m definitely biased!). It’s also my brother’s birthday month along with my grandfather’s. But birthday festivities aside, the reason that I truly love March is because it’s when winter starts to melt into spring. The days get longer, the sun shines brighter, the barren branches show signs of life and the flowers start to bloom. It’s nothing short of magical. And always a welcome refresh after a long winter.
This March hits a bit different, though. On one hand, it’s more needed than ever after the longest possible winter of all time. Scratch that, after the longest year of all time. But it’s also a little tough as it’s a reminder that we’ve officially hit the 1 year anniversary of the two week to flatten the curve. I remember it went into place the day after we returned from my birthday trip to Big Sur (I mean, what a birthday present, right?! *insert eye roll *) and never in a million years did I think by the time of my next birthday that we’d still be here dealing with this virus. Also, if we’re being honest, never in a million years did I think that a year spent sitting at home in sweats could fly by so fast.
On the bright side, I’m thinking this year’s birthday can only go up from 2020’s. Then again, it’s really not hard to go up from a broken-in car, stolen belongings and IDs, and a global pandemic hitting the world. Either way, definitely feels like this calls for an extra fancy pair of sweats to celebrate in! Ha!
