For this journey I travelled to Gogoon. A land filled to the brim with water, so filled in fact that it is in the air. When I departed the rickety ship the humidity made itself known, condensing on my skin. Kirriin Island would be my destination. I stopped by the inn to pick up some supplies before heading off. Kirriin island is little known island that can be found northeast of Gogoon, it contains quiet isolated beaches with amazing views. I built a small fire and a lean-to using some drift wood. By the time I had finished night had fallen. I sat on the beach gazing at the waves, letting the sound of them wash over me... Being the eldest sibling of large family, empathy came naturally to me. Although generally peaceful, my younger siblings would be disagreements and bicker sometimes. They would come to me to resolve issues. Kisa would be overly sensitive sometimes, Haru can be a hothead and rash, Momiji a bit unpredictable. Their emotional needs are all different and need personalized ways to calm them down. I'm not perfect though. Having so many younger siblings gets to me sometimes. Peace and quiet can be hard to come by. Early on in my teen years I took it upon myself to find a place of tranquility, away from the chatter of my family. I found swimming at our family lake the most effective reprieve. When my head would plunge beneath the surface, sound would be muffled but the silence deafening. I found myself at peace. | |
