Two weeks ago, I was in Sydney visiting an old friend. We went to Coasters Retreat and drank champagne, ate a ridiculous amount of delicious food, swam in the ocean, basked in the sun, and generally made the most of every moment. It had been a long time since I’d felt so present in the ‘now’ that I didn’t start my five-and-a-half-hour journey home until 6pm on the Sunday night.
