Let's Get Lost



 Let's get lost. In a city that never sleeps.

Down streets we've never heard of before. With people who don't know our names.




Let's get lost, 30,000 feet high.
In clouds that look like fairy floss.
Where the air smells like freedom.



















Lets get lost, walking till the soles of our feet hurt, till sunrise becomes marmalade sunset and our hands are clammy from holding each other.


Lets get lost, in busy cafes, in tall coffees and honey dew. Burning our tongues cos it tastes so good.

Lets get lost in each other, when the darkness blankets over us and our limbs entangle awash with drowsy happiness.

Lets get lost.

Baby, let's get lost.

Melbourne, Goodbyes & Pikachu Onesies




I know. It's embarrassing how long I've been MIA for.
A whole two months.

In these two months, so much has happened. I managed to get really ill and had to defer college for a semester so I decided I needed to escape my little, old town and fly off to Melbourne for a week, just to breathe in a different kind of air.

Melbourne for the record...is beautiful.
Revisiting the city again after a whole two years filled with me lost nostalgia.

It's bristling with these massive apartment blocks and skyscrapers and highways that never seem to end.
The city is stunningly busy and walking around is like stepping into a catalogue for the Aussie version of the upper east side.

Everyone is super friendly and super busy and super designer and everywhere you go, the atmosphere is filled with this busy enthusiasm and passion for...LIFE!

I had so much fun and learned so much about myself in the short time I was there, living with loved ones, staying up too late, exploring the city and driving down dark freeways at night, the wind caught in my hair, the music up loud, the memories etched in the stars.

Most importantly, I learned that, even in a city as busy as Melbourne, anywhere can be the loneliest place in the world if you have no one.

 It was really hard saying goodbye.

And on that note, I'll leave ya'll with the last photo I took before I left, inspired by a few too many Johnny Walkers and someone who will always hold a special place in my heart... ;)

Love...or something like it.


Love.  What does it even mean anymore? Nothing.
 Sex? Just another commodity.
Relationships? Irreplaceable.
Commitment? Temporary.


We live in a materialist world where almost everything can be bought. We strive for our careers, our success, but do we ever strive to find someone we can be completely real with? Someone who isn't replaceable. We get caught up in the glamour of games, unattainable people, fabricated flings, lust, desire, temporary euphoria. We're afraid to let our concepts go. Afraid of being hurt. Afraid of being...human.

Can you remember your first kiss?  your first love affair? your first relationship? the first time someone made you feel genuinely alive with happiness? What's changed?


Our ability to love is what distinguishes us from anything else in this vast universe.  Our ability to see a whole world encapsulated in someone else's smile. Our ability to bond and care and nurture. Our ability to feel and express emotions, so complex, they cannot be described. Our ability to hold another person and be happy to live out the rest of your lives together.

The moment we stop remembering to fall in love, is the time when living becomes simply existing.


XOXO

Today Was Beautiful and May Never Come Again.


Whenever I go down the bay, I always have to go into my favourite lolly store. Even if my eyes only briefly gaze over the iced worms, chocolate almonds or lolly bananas. Today I chose salted pistachios and croissants over rainbow jellybeans.

It's almost a week till spring and I'm already counting down to the days when I can wear bikinis and boyfriend shirts and smell the seawater on my skin and the sun in my hair.

Lately.



It's nice to be back! And even nicer to have a day off to recap on everything that's happened thus far.  Holidays are over so I'm back to spending more time at the salon than I am at home! Add work, cocktails, friends and writing to the mix and I haven't had time to upgrade my blog.

But this Cocoa Bean is officially back :)
