you can’t stop wishing if you don’t let go
i was going through a bunch of photos from our trip last year. i can’t believe it’s been more than a year now since we’ve been back. in a way it feels like yesterday. in a way it feels like ages ago.
i wanted so desperately to hang on to that relaxed, open-armed, open-hearted girl – the one with the wide eyes and insatiable thirst for adventure. in spite of all my best intentions, she’s been lost, ground down, washed out.
the less i have to hold on to, the more it feels like the whole thing was a dream – and the photos are the only thing i have left.

This is beautiful and really hits home. I know my own version of this girl is not far – she’s just slumbering, maybe even starting to wake up in these last few weeks. But sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference.

“I know my own version of this girl is not far – she’s just slumbering”
that gives me hope.
