People you haven’t seen in years, wounds healed by time, affordable food and drink, family, watching TV.
If you’re as lucky as me there‘ll be seaside and countryside too. Maybe it wasn’t about the destination, but the friends we made along the way?

I've been back to my hometown, Messina (Sicily).
Not such big deal since is still literally the same as long as I remember (but isn't it the story of all hometowns?).
Christmas holidays in the end were a bit up and down since life brought me in different places both physically and mentally, but that's life

Really helped me see my hometown through fresh new eyes, and appreciate things about it I took for granted!
It also made me feel like I could bring all of me that has developed since I left the city back into it instead of purely regressing into my teenage self🥳

I’ve started saying this when things get serious.
When Im looking for an ingredient in the cupboard and I can’t find it after my initial look: ‘okay, no more mr nice guy’.
So begins a far more serious rummage.

Next time you write something, look back at it after 24 hours.
Try to change any Latinisms to simpler, more Germanic words. (Change ‘fortunate’ to ‘lucky’, for example).
Try to change passive verbs to active (‘we threw the rock’ vs ‘the rock was thrown’).
If the word or phrase would be used in a corporate setting, get rid of it (‘in terms of’, ‘circle back’, ‘action items’ can be changed to ‘about’/’regarding’, ‘come back to this’, ‘things to do’ etc.
Hope this stuff isn’t too obvious and is perhaps a little helpful.
