twilights gone by

We drove out in search of the sun, without a GPS, without a mental map, and ended up with a taste of Georgia magic and a tank full of memories.

twilit flame

Karleigh and I drove for hours and hours because we knew that Tybee Island was at the end, and when we got to the beach, we just stared. It was like we had never seen the ocean before.

On our way back to the mainland, I noticed the sun setting over the Savannah River. Karleigh had never seen the sun set over water, so I stopped, and we walked out to a bridge and sat next to fishermen and watched the sun set over Savannah.

my heart, the here and now

there are corners of the Earth where ghosts still have dominion, or at least, where we all believe they do. This road is one such corner in my city.

I take Karleigh out there whenever we need a chill.

Before We Go

There is a list of things that Karleigh and I want to do before I leave for London in late June. Going to Congaree National Forest has been on that list for three years, so we decided to do it on the day between our birthdays. We had a picnic and went on a hike and ate cupcakes. I can't believe that I've lived here for four years and never been.

lost in neighborhoods of civilization

I love exploring the tiny town that I live in. It's so easy to get caught up in the world of university, but Karleigh and I went out and found the pieces of real life that surround us.

A Weekend Away

Karleigh took me home with her to a small swamp town that I've always known of and never been to. I spent the weekend with her family, in the same town her family has lived in for forever, and I finally caught a glimpse of what it's like to live in the low-country of the South. In a lot of ways, it was like being in a foreign country.
