My @visitgreecegr campaign ain’t over yet: doors of Monemvasia 🚪🌿💗

Coming up to 11 years of having left Greece and my last visit got me all emosh. Some thoughts about being an expat in the long-ass caption below. 👇🏼⁣ ⁣ To have left home and have started your life somewhere else, it’s to forever rediscover your fragments again and again in different places. Some of your greatest pieces found once more sitting at the bar tables on the street in Athens, drinking and laughing with your friends until the early hours of the morning. Others stumbled upon a ferry to the Greek isles with your hair swept by the wind, feeling the warm sun, tasting the salt in the air and being drenched by the all-encompassing light.⁣ ⁣ It’s these parts that you dig out again - like an archaeology of feelings - reminding, remembering, relearning every time those things that made you who you are but they’re not who you are right now. ⁣ ⁣ Making you think that you’re a little bit harder to break because you’ve already littered the world with your tiny specs. And it’s OK to never be in one piece because maybe you’re more like LEGO. You can tear yourself down and stack yourself up again and the combinations will still be endless, even if some bricks will be missing.
