"This was my own doing.
I allowed this.
I wanted this.
To be some kind of reality I had dreamed of countless times.
I let this go to far.
I became consumed. "

I stood covering my hand over my eyebrows to shield me the glare of the beautiful sun. I couldn't believe that i was standing here in, Anafiotika, Athens. Looking at the beautiful terraces and white cubic houses with blue doors and windows. Surrounded by all these beautiful bright pink flowers. It truly did smell divine, like a true sweet escape. I stopped for a moment and took out my Nikon CoolPix and captured a few pictures of the beautiful surroundings. I then started to walk up the small cobblestone hill, passing all the beautiful homes and the small cluster of tourist coming and going.
After a small hike i had reached the top of Anafiotika, i was graced with a breath taking view of Lycabettus hill. I couldn't take my eyes off the view. I felt like this was where i was supposed to be in this very moment. I always made a bucket list of the places i always wanted to see and this was one of them. I sat on the edge of the tiny cobblestone wall looking over the water in the distance that was soon to be kissed by the sun. This felt like the perfect time to make a journal entry. As i got lost into my own thoughts i felt the glare of the sun beginning to disappear and i quickly peaked my head up.

This was truly something so breathtaking and once in a lifetime for me. I always felt so close while near the water. It was like an unspoken bond i had built after my mother died. She always appreciated a good sunset and water. So i felt like she was right beside me in this very moment. I felt this presence and i knew. She was here. I felt the tears burning the brim of my eyes and i slowly allowed them to fall as i just let those emotions wash over me. I missed her so much and felt so alone during this beautiful moment in life that i was finally experiencing.
I had know one.
I was alone in this beautiful city.
As the sun dipped into the darkness of the water and the air started to become a little crisp i felt a sigh of relief escape my lips.
