Poli Orea

Hi there, Blog. Long time no see. It's JUNE already! How did that happen?!

Oh, right. I remember now. There was this thing I did. It was called Europe.

...I always find it funny when life chooses not to stop and wait for me when I take leave of it for a while. Or maybe it's more like I alter my life, and am confused to come home and find that I'm the only thing that's different? I'm not really sure how I feel about that yet. I'll work on a theory and get back to you.

Anyway. I'm back. While I was away I saw lots of beautiful things. 

Like this...

And this...

And this. Yum...

For a large part of the past two months I had the enormous pleasure of indulging in "Greek time." That is, taking life at a slower, more relaxed pace to the point of forgetting not only the hour, but often the day of the week or date entirely. (To be clear, I am not suggesting we all do this all the time. Oye, the horror! But a little less haste would be nice, I feel.)

And while I have both a million small stories to tell and equally nothing new to say about my recent adventures, I will admit that in a world where we are forever being told to "celebrate our differences" I find it eternally comforting to know that deep, valuable human connection is still possible, cultural differences be damned.

Yasas, dear reader.
