Key Largo And A Kitty

Key Largo and a Kitty

Update: Ophelia and I have stockings now.

Put my little tree up. It reminds me of the one my mom always put in my bedroom as a little kid.

Two very different worlds. Two photos taken 24 hours apart from each other. The mountains and the coast. Last year I was excited to experience the more contrasting seasons. I wasn’t ready for what came after fall.

I was use to being under the forests of evergreens along the coast. The loblollys, long leafs, live oaks, and palms. Green all year round. Green has always been my favorite color and I had never lived in a world without it.

I never realized winters could last so long. When I moved last November, the leaves had fallen. It was gray and foggy, and I use to love the fog. That long stretch of gray.

The the world slowly began to sprout. On the weekends when I would go up in the mountains for fun, the gray lasted even longer in places. By the time spring did roll around and summer, it was too late. Too much happened. The gloom of the world around me fully consumed me in.

Spring was so beautiful. I tried to find solace in it, but I was already so terrified of going through more of what I had been through. We all know it was more than just the environment around me. But it sure didn’t help. I still love the mountains so much. I miss them. But I missed my home so much more.

I always knew I was lucky to live where I do now. It’s a very special place, but even though I was conscious of it, I never felt it. Now I feel it and I love my beautiful world here.

A foggy day along the Waccamaw Neck. The first picture was an incredible view. Driving above a thick cloud hovering over the Winyah Bay in Georgetown. Pictures can’t really describe how vast and strange this phenomenon felt.

Then a beautiful view of that fog over the marsh lands spanning from the Waccamaw. Crazy that I can casually grab lunch somewhere so beautiful.

It’s kinda wild that I thought I could move away and leave my home behind last year. How silly of me. I mean… look at it❤️
