Managed Wordle in 4/6, Nerdle in 6/6 and failed on one Quordle.

Longing for the Sea

We haven’t been on vacation in more than two years. Since before the pandemic.

We booked a few days away from everything in a tine house at the sea.

In German, there’s the word Fernweh - the longing for travel and going to distant places. It’s the opposite of feeling homesick. I’ve felt Fernweh for much of my life, until I met my husband.

As we drove towards the sea today and caught the first glimpse of the ocean, I was struck with a new feeling.

I didn’t know I had been feeling it until I laid eyes on the wide open waters today.

Meerweh.

I have been plagued by a deep longing, a yearning for spending time at the ocean.

Looking at the waves. Listening to the sound they make and the cries of seagulls. Squinting at the sun as it bounces off the sand and waves.

I’d be happy if I could spend the rest of my days at the water.
