Plans

bought a planner today, to fill in when my university assignments are due and feel overwhelmed about how many there seem to be.

Also to schedule my next destinations. Quick trip to Bali.

Girls trip to the middle east.

Maybe Norway.

Eventually back to Africa. Beloved Africa.

I’m not sure when it will be. Sooner rather than later.

I have spent a lot of time lately laying on my bed, eyes clenched and moist, desperately wishing myself back there. Back to those days of liberty. Spice.

Coconuts.

Sand.

Laying on my bed, pretending the day doesn’t exist, feeling the ache in my back from hours behind the coffee machine, feet aching from the polished concrete floor. My determination outweighing my depression.

It won’t be long. Long until I see something new. And something old.

Until I see this.
