Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves – slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future; live the actual moment. Only this moment is life.”

Lived in Boston a while but never stayed in the actual city of Boston for long haha. I always seemed to be exploring everywhere else. I fell in love with Maine , which is a totally different type of beach than where I grew up (partially at least haha) on the outerbanks of North Carolina. The picture is from near Ogunquit when I went back to visit a few years ago. Phone quality has improved since I took this but I love this as a comparison to my NC home.

I would happily post my Spotifywrapped, but my wife can't figure out the shared account and so the metrics will show John Mayer and Florida Georgia line as two of my top artists and I'm just not ready for that level of judgement without preamble.
