#117 Attachment vs Novelty: A Solo Beach Walk in Rural Bali

#117 Attachment vs Novelty: A Solo Beach Walk in Rural Bali

Today I'm walking along a beach in rural Bali, working through something that's been gnawing at me since I moved villas this week: the pull between attachment and novelty.


I'd been getting precious about my old setup, the cafe, the desk angle, the air conditioning, all of it. Almost packed up and headed back to Canggu before I caught myself and went for a walk instead.


What came out of it:


- Why grasping for the familiar can rob you of what's actually in front of you

- The OCD-ish perfectionism I run into when something feels off, and how to break the loop

- Sand as a literal lesson in letting go

- The knot in my stomach when I think about my year around the world nine years ago, and what it might actually be about

- Privilege, gratitude, and the reframe that's been keeping me grounded out here


If you've been clinging to a routine that's stopped serving you, this one might land.
