The Florida Keys felt like the edge of the map—in the best way. The road kept winding, the water kept shimmering, and somewhere between mile markers and mangroves, the world got quieter. I remember watching the sky turn pink over the Gulf, the air soft and slow, and thinking, “This is how it feels to let go.”
What stayed with me were the little things: the creak of a dock under bare feet, the clink of a spoon in a slice of Key lime pie, a rooster crossing a quiet street like it had nowhere else to be. I wandered through hidden beaches and weathered towns, hammock trails and pastel porches, and I left feeling undone in the gentlest way—lighter, looser, and sun-warmed all the way through.
