"People who carry a recipe in their head, and an old SIM card in their wallet.

People who straddle multiple worlds.

People who belong fully in multiple places – and still sometimes feel like a visitor in all of them."

As a seafarer, this felt personal and I found myself nodding at sentences that were thoughts and emotions in my mind, things I've felt but never long enough to find the right words for them. It's amazing how the experience is universal. Great writing, yet again! 🫶🏽

"things I've felt but never long enough to find the right words for them". <3

As a seafarer, what you feel is probably so much more exaggerated and relevant!

I use the words 'unanchored' & 'at sea' so often when I'm feeling disoriented. Can't even imagine how it feels like to quite literally be unanchored and at sea!

Thanks, as alwaysssss, for reading and sharing how you felt!
