I'm reading this while getting ready and I've cried my mascara off. 'This wasn’t how it was meant to be. But this is how it is' - so beautiful and so meaningful. So painfully relatable.
A beautifully written piece and very relatable. The fear of regret, of making the wrong choice (I’d say the fear of disappointment is also related) is so difficult to carry. It helps so much to know that there are indeed still moments of light in darkness, fear, and grief. I believe there is also grace when we make the “wrong” decision — we get rerouted, but ultimately our destination of love and hope remains.
Scilly Isles (St Martin’s specifically) is also our happy place! What island do you stay on? It’s a truly magical place and was a place of peace during our fertility journey. It’s such a mission to get there but so worthwhile.🌴x
Oh I love chatting to other people about the Scillies!! We stay on Tresco, and as you say it’s so magical. The journey can be really tough to get there - especially the Scillionan 😵💫 We try to fly mainly because it’s so much quicker. But even by boat, once you’re there, you do forget the journey (eventually!) x
Ah, Tresco is beautiful! Last time we were there, we had a wee boat for the week and it was awesome - we were able to pootle about as and when we wanted and visited some uninhabited islands to have a swim or picnic. There is nowhere like it! x

Also found this tonight and left crying. What a beautiful and poignant piece.
