More than a feeling x

Hey Alex ✨

❤️

📍 Lake Alexandrina, New Zealand

🚗 12km / short drive west of Lake Tekapo, off SH8 via Godley Peaks Road

🏔️ Sits in the Mackenzie Basin, ringed by snowcapped mountains

🎣 Known for trout fishing, no motorboats allowed, rowing only
❄️ Stunning in winter, glassy reflections, bare trees, quiet and still

🌌 Dark Sky Reserve, incredible for stargazing at night

🦢 Look out for black swans and other birdlife

⛺ Basic campground nearby, no shops in the village, stock up in Tekapo first

🥾 Walk up the 4WD track near the car park for the best lake views

I wore a singlet today.

Such a ridiculously small thing, but I realised I haven’t felt comfortable enough to do that in probably two years.

(Thanks to lowering my cortisol, reducing inflammation and losing 6kgs in five weeks 😂 Hopefully a few more to come.)

As I’ve mentioned before, life’s been pretty confronting lately. Sometimes a door slams in your face and, no matter how much you keep knocking, you don’t get to have that final conversation on the other side of it. At some point, you just have to decide what you’re going to do with everything you’re still carrying.

So I’m trying to put that emotion and energy somewhere useful.

I’ve taken some absolute hits lately, and for a while it felt like they were coming from every direction, but little by little I’ve worked my way through a lot of it. Things are starting to feel exciting again, and I’m really grateful for that.

I don’t know exactly what comes next except for me putting One foot in front of the other.

And apparently today, that looked like wearing the bloody singlet. 😂
