I went back to Vancouver to attend a couple of weddings. Being back home has been a challenge, but a good one.
Memories resurfaced, but you only have to face the painful ones a few times and then it doesn’t hurt as much any more. You grieve the loss of the relationship in its original environment, accept it, then you make new memories.
What better new memories than to watch my dear friends go through one of the biggest milestones in their lives? I had the chance to get ready for their big day, and teared up as they teared up during their vows.
It was bittersweet, to return home only to leave again. I was happy to come back to Sydney though, surely that’s a sign. The beach is now my new home!
