Thank you, Neha. Such a lovely, sweet comment. But knowing your writing, I’m guessing you could have put it down pretty damn eloquently.

This piece really spoke to me. I’ve experienced my own version of this but I don’t think I could put it down quite so beautifully. Thanks for sharing.

I love this piece, Simone. It makes me want to return to fiction writing after a break that was longer than I expected.

Really beautiful!

Beautiful piece, Simone. Love this: “I thought I’d find that place on the other side of the world, but it has taken much traveling, many beaches, more introductions and partings to realize this. All I want to do now is sit on that dune and eat a chunk of cheddar while I watch the sea lions crawl onto the estuary, their barks filling the air.”

The more I travel the more I feel connected to my hometown, a small port/ocean city in the South. Dune grass, marshes, and drawn-out accents stay with me when I’m abroad, visual/aural anchors in my memories.
