accumulated bits from my time away

[adrienmundi]

I was easily the palest person in sight at the beach.


The ocean is like the parent I never had: large, loving, comforting, always happy to see me, always willing to hold me until I feel a little better.


I don't resist the unspoken tyranny of collectives very well; this must change.


I almost threw my phone into the sea because it stopped working, but realized my frustration shouldn't create pollution for those I care about.


Early morning is better than evening, but both are better than the middle of the day.


Maybe it *is* just a question of terminology.


I always sleep poorly the first night in strange places; I did not sleep poorly at karma_navit's.


The insights and lessons I learned were not purchased at extreme, tragic cost; I must remember this.
