i escaped the city.
cheers to wondrous glorious days in the sun. ambitious kayaking pursuits. heart in mouth sensations - i swear, humans are not made for falling. to cravings and reading each others minds. impromptu days and nights. word games. card games. ball games. prickly heat powder. digital cameras that do not work and old school plastic ones that do. to music exploration. swimming swimming and more swimming. to turquoise waters and fine sand. fluidity of movement by that seemingly mysterious dreadlocked fire performer. sexy hip bones. hyper active beagle and that lovable stray mutt. past-present-future conversations. soft spots and past crushes. caffeine induced late nights. knowing each others quirky habits and preferences. last minute changes to departure; an extra stolen night.
i miss having the boys around already.
10 days with the boys makes me realise how much i am missing by working away from home.
i made the decision of working overseas because i thought i was not ready to go back home;
not ready to face the rest of my life in the place i grew up in.
i wanted to 'see the world', to 'gain experience', to 'challenge my limits'.
wanted to cross out some lines from my bucket list.
i'm not regretting my decision of venturing out but i'm just more acutely aware of the trade offs i've made.
and that awareness will probably form the basis of conflict of future decisions.
never far from my thoughts xx
wishing you well
