Home <3

A summer trip to the Cape, the place I once called home, is always a necessity in my mind. The beaches, my family, and my friends all remind me of who I once was, and in many ways, who I still am. I feel like my truest self there, grounded in a place that’s seen me through both the best and the hardest times.

Every time I leave, I catch myself reminiscing about the good old days, surrounded by friends who know me better than anyone, family who loves and challenges me, and local favorites that feel like second nature. And while it’s always bittersweet to go, I know I’ll find that feeling again somewhere new.

This place will forever hold a special spot in my heart, and I know I’ll keep coming back. But I also know it’s okay to move forward, to discover a new place that feels just as much like home. There are so many people I haven’t met yet and places I haven’t seen. I’m learning to find comfort in the unfamiliar and keep showing up for myself so that one day, the new feels just as warm and familiar as the old.

For now, enjoy this sweet video my girlfriend made from little clips of our trip.
