PLACES & PEOPLE |
some places stay
I come back to them as different persons, in different contexts
I change, they are constant
Manly is such a place
this cute little beachfront apartment is such a place
I remember the day @annelicederling got the lease
I’ve never lived here
but many of my friends have
lives connected through this place
I’ve cried here
I’ve laughed here
it’s stayed within the family for almost a decade
now it’s the home of this beautiful family
people that stay
friendships that are constant
although life changes us
people I’ve cried with, I’ve laughed with
people who share my root system
who are nourished from the same memories .
.
Manly is not my ‘now’
yet it will always nourish me
for my roots reach deep into its soil
into its sand and water
I’m having a tea at Shelly beach, some me-time before catching up with friends
I feel like the luckiest girl alive
for I feel my roots
I feel them all across the globe
I feel them nourishing me
I feel them, deeply 💛
