Wow, this is so beautiful. I put on Blue Mesas while I read. (I love Bridges too, he just begs to be slow danced to in a kitchen.) Sending peace in the longing.
Ugghhh longing. My forever state. That line about longing being the rubber band that snaps you into your body—I felt that. It’s something I’ve been sitting with too, this idea that longing isn’t just about wanting something that’s out of reach, but about deep, undeniable recognition. Like the body remembering what it aches for before the mind catches up. I think and write too much about longing—longing for home, for the past, for the sea. It colors everything for me.
"Some people say that longing is the absence of being present but what if longing is exactly the rubber band required to snap you into your body?" UGH <3

I think we’re built to long and it’s become taboo- like you’re ungrateful or silly. I have no doctorate except in longing xx
100%!
