After the Fun

It’s always amazing to me to step back, try to stay in that exact moment, just after. Maybe I’m odd. But in all of the frenzy of life, in all of the ins and outs of life, relationships, the noise… I find more and more that I focus on trying to stay present in important moments.

Carnal Retreat

We’ve always dreamed of having a vacation away. Like, really away. We’ve cleared calendars. Actually left behind the phones, let everyone know we were traveling to the ends of the earth, so… good luck reaching us. It might not be that remote in reality, but we planned a completely dedicated, carnal time.
