Catching up with pretty little Saf
I finally got to see a friend from the old days. Not going to say the”good” old days because I loved things then, and I also love things now! But it was really so good to catch up with her. She is such a kind, generous and fun friend and I’ve missed those days when we did these sort of stuff ; sit on the Bondi grass discussing life.
On my way home that day I realized that one quality I value in a friend is their ability to handle deep talks about life and mixing it up with unimportant stuff such as the latest goss 🙂
I mean, if you one have one or the other you die or boredom! Or at least I would haha. And Safae has that quality. And I love that about her.
After sitting “traditionally” on the grass for a while we moved over to The Bucket List where we have spend countless hours over the years. Its still very much the same ; beautiful people who spent a hell of a lot of time trying to look like they haven’t made any effort at all Hahaha. So nice…
We ordered in bottle of vine and then Cecile and her partner came by for a late lunch of buckets of fresh prawns, fish tacos and barramundi burgers. Forgot how good the food is over there!
One of the things that always come up is whether or not we would move back to the “Bubble”…
There is something about this place that is hard to explain for those who have not lived there. Me and Safae tried our best and the only thing we could come up with is that its like this place has an mist of magic over it ( please understand that my English is shit and me explaining things is a bad mix of Persian,Swedish and Italian and then putting into English words! )
Bondi is like Disney land. Its not real. That s what I mean when I say mist of magic. It kind of lures you in to believe that its all wonderful when in fact, honestly I have never met so many damaged and depressed people in any other country or place I lived. Don’t get me wrong. IT IS wonderful and I had some of my best memories ever from the time I lived here. I just believe that coming here and believing this place don’t have any ugly side is totally and utterly wrong.
And I think one of the reasons is that this place is stupidly beautiful, the beach, the restaurants, the people, the homes, the shops, the views.
And everyone and everything is trying their hardest to maintain this image. The image of absolute perfection. And that’s where it goes wrong. That’s where people secretly start to feel bad. because nothing and no one can keep up “perfection” forever. Isn’t perfection all of it anyway ? The good, the bad and the ugly? Isn’t that what is Life?
And trying to fake that…well I guess the “Bubble” then inevitably burst.
Yeeezzuuuss Christ this was the most depressing writing ever! Hahaha!!
Please go to Bondi Beach. I loved it and you will love it too for sure!
Its truly a wonderful place and I love that I can call it one of my “home’s” in the world.♡♡♡♡♡♡
