#sentimentaltuesday

Not to get all sentimental on a Tuesday but... does anyone else try to avoid goodbyes? . Like, you try not to actually SAY goodbye, but rather, like, "Oh yeah, I'll see you soon..." and then just trail off on your way?? . I feel like I started this trick years ago when I left home. . I remember I packed my belongings ~ mostly clothing and a few sentimental items to remember people by ~ and began the slow agonizing process of saying goodbye. . First to the home ~ so many memories. . Then to the student life ~ even then I knew, those were the days. . Finally, and hardest of all, goodbye to my family and my friends. My dearest friends. . I remember smiling and saying ~ oh, I'll see you at Christmas ~ or whatever... while secretly wondering if time and distance would, over time, erode their role in my life... . The good news: It didn't. If anything, I love my friends more now then ever. . Funny how, even when things change, the things that are meant to stick... do. . As we are officially coming close to only a few months away from leaving the home we've loved for over 10 years, I'm feeling the same goodbye-avoidance... making future plans so I don't actually have to say goodbye. . But, like with my family and friends, I am hopeful that, regardless of time and space, our Folly Beach friends (you know who you are) will stick. #soul #goodbye #sentimentaltuesday #home #memories #family #friends #distance #follybeach #moving (at Folly Beach, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/jenniferjgrovelifestyle/p/BvMDtVwhqM3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rdqpji8cmz5q

Clear skies... clean and gentle breeze... freshly picked “haricots verts” as they would say in French. 🤓 Had it been that my grandfather was still around, he would even give me the scientific name of this legume. He loved growing plants, vegetables, fruit trees. 20190212 #TheRusticLife #FreshVegetables #MissingYouDaddyInyong #SentimentalTuesday https://www.instagram.com/p/BtwxwCTHHWOJFXkQDm3GqRxbRWV5uxEDP8BwTo0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m7ore32vl8qp

FROM MY ARCHIVE 🌟 The People • الشعب, Collector’s Edition | A treasured collaboration with my mother @nadia_elhusseiny | Limited edition handmade jute bag printed by my mother. Each bag uniquely designed with stencils inspired by photos from “In the Shadow of the Pyramids”, includes signed & numbered 100% cotton-based archival print, signed Certificate of Authenticity, signed & numbered copy of The People - 42x29cm newsprint with two inserts. Presented inside custom made red & black cardboard box | Self published in 2015 in edition of 102 | Photography & Interviews: Laura El-Tantawy | Handmade Jute bag & English-Arabic Translations: Nadia El-Husseiny | Newspaper Design: -SYB- | Lithography: Colour & Books | ISBN: 978-0-9932876-0-2 The People • الشعب chronicles how citizens in the Arab world’s most populous nation fought for social and economic change in the face of a brutal political regime that wanted to maintain the status quo. Following El-Tantawy’s “In the Shadow of the Pyramids” (self published 2015) - a first person account exploring memory and identity through the author’s experience before and during the country’s turbulent political struggle, الشعب takes a step back from the personal narrative. Published in a newspaper format and narrated by “the people”, this publication aims to preserve and celebrate the vanishing memory of one of the most historically relevant chapters in modern day Egypt. #ALaborofLove #LauraElTantawyArchive #lookingback #sentimentalTuesday (at Cairo, Egypt) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpjuz-8h-K7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16uiy6y09fgnx
