I'm not sure if you remember me. We've met a few times at girlpurple's parties. You made something of an impression on me (not everyone knows all the words to "They're Coming to Take Me Away. Ha! Ha!") and I figured I'd throw in my 2 cents.
I've loved both the mountains and the ocean for as long as I can remember, but my preference for one over the other has shifted from time to time. It's the times when I'm feeling overwhelmed, that my life seems to be headed in 15 different directions at once and is ripping me to pieces in the process, when I feel like I just need to abandon all purpose and responsibility and go where the tide takes me that I'm drawn to the sea.
I'm drawn to the mountains when I'm picking up the pieces from such an episode. My life seems to be constantly tearing me apart and reassembling the pieces into something new and (usually) better (stronger at least). I'm in a mountain phase right now, trying to find purpose and direction again after a turbulent few years.
Does any of this resonate with you or is your love of the sea completely different?
