| I walked from Miami to Burleigh beach and talked about this today. |
 |
| I worked in Crete during the European summer of 2017. |
 |
| Everything about it was interesting for me; |
 |
| from the humans, |
 |
| to the adventures, |
 |
| to the culture and the sea and |
 |
| my place within it all. |
 |
| I was reminded of just how much time I need on my own. |
 |
| Almost everyday after work, I would come here and float in the sea... [I got in trouble once by of the locals for calling it the ocean.] |
 |
| I would dive down as deep as I could in one breath. |
 |
| It was different everyday; and all along i knew it was unlike anything else and unlike anything I'll experience again. |
 |
| The relationships were hard. |
 |
| Their hobbies seemed to be sex and alcohol. They didn't understand I needed time away. It had nothing to do with them and everything to do with regaining my energy. |
 |
| As much as I love people- and I do; they drain me. |
 |
| *** S A N T O R I N I *** |
 |
| I knew that gratitude was the key to getting through that season well; the rough dynamics, the strange isolation contrasted with the beauty of everything my eyes could take in. |
 |
| There was a lot to be thankful for, so I tried to hold all that tightly in front of me. |
 |
|
| The farther away I get from the experience, the better it becomes in my mind. It's a strange thing but I like that. |
 |
| Humans were made for learning... |
 |
| and for other things too, I guess. |
 |
| When I was 8 I nearly drowned in the ocean. I was never afraid, I've only ever loved it. |
 |
| Greece was everything all at once. |
