Every summer I return to our country. I feel an irresistible pull to be there; to breathe in its air, to swim in its sea, and to lie on its sand. Even more powerful though, is the drive to feel connected to my heritage. I am happiest when I am there, quietly imagining what stories unfolded to allow my unappreciative self to be gifted the time that I have; time that I now savour. I'm finally craving a family, and a partner. I don't know if an Ellinitha will bring into my experience that which I yearn for, but I'm fairly certain a Kseni will not. I can't wait to meet you. Our smiles will be legendary.
