The blinding sun, the familiar skyline, the streets I've walked countless times and the sea; a reliable refuge. It feels like the rest of Home, their combination causes a soothing sense - strong, intoxicating, it numbs all my fears and anxieties leaving only thoughts of comfort and pleasure.
-It can be like this every day.
But the trembling of the half closed eyes and the feeling of the burning skin can't last forever. The memories that linger in the corners of this city have started to lose their grip on me.
