Breathless
My heart skipped all it’s beats
And sank right to my feet –
And in that moment,
I had to remind myself to breathe.
With love, Emily.

Stop me
How do I stop spinning –
Stop the cycle of thoughts so consuming?
When my memories are a constant reminder of betrayal –
I wonder, are they worth remembering?
When each crevice and corner is a mirror –
A glaring reflection of my incompetencies.
Without word or warning,
You set my destruction into motion.
With love,
Emily.

Remind me
Sweep me off my feet –
Remind me how much I like to stand on firm ground.
Make my heart skip all its beats –
Remind me how much I like to hear it pound.
Twirl me; spin me off my seat –
Remind me how much I like to sit in your surrounds.
Drown me in your love knee-deep –
Remind me how much I like to breathe the soft sound;
The faint whisper of, “let’s go for another round”.
With love,
Emily.
Last week, I took a quick day trip to Hawkesbury River, which is about an hour North of Sydney.
It felt great to leave the city for a while and be surrounded by a lot more nature – the tranquility put me at ease, even if it was just for a mere few hours. The sun came out to bless us with warm weather and welcomed the inexperienced adventurers who embarked on treading unfamiliar land. I thoroughly revelled in a carefree pretence – treasuring every second of exploration and afternoon light that made for perfect photographs – and here is a visual diary of the sights in Hawkesbury:
These photographs were taken on my Canon 1100D with a 24mm f2.8 pancake lens.
Photographs of me were taken by the lovely Jenny on her Canon 70D, also with a 24mm f2.8 pancake lens. (You can find Jenny on Instagram @jennayez)
I’m also on Instagram @emilyyyung !
We lived on the edge that day – just being fearless – and it was an amazing feeling.
I hope you enjoyed that as much as I enjoyed my little trip and putting this together (or maybe not – it’s ok).

With love,
