Nostalgia, Beaches, and Embracing the Present

💭 What is nostalgia? Some of my best memories of family and friends, ones I can never recreate, were made at these three beaches 🏄‍♂️

These Days 🎶 I have found myself living on the other side of the world in a landlocked country with no beaches or kangaroos 🇦🇹 When I feel the pressures of life, I think back to these moments.

Now, for the first time in years, I relive this— to breathe that same sea breeze, feel my feet sink into the sand as the wave returns, and taste the salt. That makes me think 🤔

I realise they are just that, memories of times and people past. I won’t forget them, but I won’t let them hold me back 💪 when that wave washes over you, all the stresses of life, mortgages, work, and relationships wash away, and now I find that worries of never surpassing these memories do, too 😊

So here’s to the new friends and family who today run into the waves with me or the ones I will share these pictures with back in my new home, hoping that one day they can join me here too 🥂
