I know I may not have everything but I’ve realised that I have it pretty sweet. I also know that the future doesn’t scare me anymore; it can be whatever I want it to be. I may not have a love in my life thus far but as I said before the first step is to love yourself and I’m getting there.
Standing in the ocean, just the waves and I, it felt right for this time of my life. Smiling at the sea…preserving every moment while practicing the elusive art of samba beneath starlight.
Under the cover of darkness, I took all my clothes off and truly not caring who was looking or who thought I was crazy. I sauntered into the sea. I just thought, 'To hell with it. How many times am I going to be on Brazilian sands with its warm winter waters among the stars?'
My skin grazing past each grain of sand as I stepped out of the water, I was becoming ever more aware of the breeze that cooled each droplet on my body and the salty air, harsh on my face.
Gazing at the reflection of the stars on the water, I reflect on my time here: The people I’ve met, the friends I’ve made; the music I’ve feebly attempted to make although I’ve had great joy doing it; percussion lessons truly paying off- realising that bus engines and car sirens are lyrically rhythmical.
So, it is a wonderfully different place. It has left an imprint on my spirit and I’m truly thankful- I say farewell Floripa!
