#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

I thought it should be easy but actually no, not at all. Until the day is finally came and then you realised actually there are so much loves and appreciation surrounding you, then u doubt urself about the decision u made. Its always hard to leave your comfort zone, but u never try, u never know. X #imjustsaying #sentimentaltuesday #howtoleaveyourcomfortzone #howtosaygoodbye #midagecrisis #decisionsphobia
