The 10 Things Bringing Joy To Kim-Joy This January – From RuPaul To Cosy Socks

4. My Writing-Craft-Laptop Room

“I’ve recently decluttered my spare room upstairs and turned it into a little craft haven for me – it’s a place to write recipes and do art when I’m away from the kitchen. It’s so nice to have my own creative space, and to utilise a room that was previously filled with stuff we weren’t using.”

5. Kindness 

“I have received so many kind messages on social media and I’m touched that people take time out of their day to write to me. Some even draw me! I feel very lucky.”

6. Seeing Friends

“I’m lucky to have really supportive friends. I have some who live nearby, and I also have university friends who live a bit further down south (I’m in Leeds). We still all keep in touch and I’m off to Cambridge in a few days to meet up with them.”

7. Art

“I’ve been doing more drawing and painting since sorting my craft room. I still don’t feel like I’m very good, but I enjoy it and that’s what matters.”

8. Watching RuPaul’s ‘Drag Race’

“Season 4 is currently on and I look forward to watching a new episode every weekend. I just find it very uplifting. I even put on old episodes in the background while I’m baking.”

9. Peace And Quiet

“We live next door to a farmer and he owns cows, chickens and a horse. Our house overlooks his farm, so our view is just endless fields. It’s very quiet. I love to just read a book, relax and soak in the silence.”

10. Having A Roof Over My Head

“We take this for granted, but it definitely brings me joy to have a place to go home to every day – and where there’s nice food in the cupboards.”
