A local woman who’s been on the edge of her seat all day has decided to indulge in some much needed self care, by going home, pulling down the blinds and losing herself in a world of fantasy.
Having given herself carpal tunnel with the amount of times she refreshed the election results, Vera Fenwick, 31, says she plans on spending the rest of the week escaping to various fantasy worlds, because she doesn’t have the energy to think about the future right now – citing that it’s much less taxing to focus on ‘vampire love triangles and fae wars.’
Speaking to our reporter as she picks up some snacks from the IGA, Vera explains that she’s going to regress into being a teenager for a little while and pretend it’s 2008 again.
“I’m just tired, you know?”, laughs Vera, as she selects a packet of chocolate bullets, “the more I become invested with what’s going on the world, the more I just want to crawl under my doona and never come out.”
“So I’m just going to stop reading the news and scrolling social media for a while, make myself a hot cup of tea and watch the entire Twilight series.”
“And then when I’m done with that, I’ll read my book series about a girl who’s weirdly mad that she’s been forced live in an opulent mansion filled with hot fairies.”
“It’s called self care.”
More to come.
