today was my unbirthday

[inkandrunes]

I'm experiencing a lot of conflicting emotions right now. Joy and jealousy, hope and fear, serenity and anxiety. I'm trying not to let them overwhelm me, just sort of letting the storm rage and seeing where things settle once it's through. I'm not sure I have any other options, really

I grew up on the shores of Georgian Bay (that's the body of water hitching a ride on Lake Huron's back) and every time i go back I think "why am I not here more?". I also experience that same sorrow/joy feeling after leaving...no real solution here, just wanted to let you know I totally get it.

I feel best when I'm in a warm and sunny environment, too. I practically grew up on a riverside beach, and I think most of my happiest summertime memories were there. I think it makes perfect sense to crave the beach and the sun and all the good feelings it brings!

That's a good point :) Although for me, it's more about a need to have access to a natural body of water then it is about sun and sand, but yes, the feelings are the same.
