Whenever I travel back to my country, there is an instant rush of fond memories of the house I grew up in by the sea and of the maze-like city I moved to when I got older. But mostly, of family and friends: the people that I care for and who have always been there for me, the ones I take for granted. Each struggling in their own way. Loneliness, isolation, decline. Secrets and regrets. But each one like a lighthouse keeper. Strong and resilient, fragile and tender, guiding each other through life, and reminding me of where I belong.
