“ Did you know we all have at least one soul place in the physical world? A soul place is a special site or spot where we experience unique feelings of belonging, empowerment and energetic rejuvenation.”
It’s no secret to how much I adore this place. Its 2 weeks today since I returned to the seaside town of Brighton and I captured just about everything and thought I’d reflect on my trip and share with you some unseen pictures. So unlike the past 2 times I’ve visited this time around I was heading back to Brighton for 3 days, which was amazing! Now usually when I book any trip away it usually involves some sort of gig/festival and tends to be the reasoning for booking a trip. I was desperate to return to Brighton once the new year came around and always said I’d want to come back for at least a couple of days. It just so happened to be that my favourite band had booked a tour and Brighton happened to be one of the dates and immediately knew if I was going to travel to any date it had to be this one.
Apart from the gig I had also booked an appointment to get my very first tattoo! And as I sit here in the sunshine out my back garden looking down at my arm it still doesn’t seem real that I actually got one. There was no ifs or buts, I found an artist, I enquired, I paid my deposit and that was it. Not at any stage did I think or worry about the pain, weather id like it or if I should get it. I just bloody went for it and DID IT! And thinking back now if I can get a tattoo with this state of mind, I can do anything right!
I won’t go too in depth about the meaning behind the tattoo, as I’ve already got a post about it on my instagram also have a blog post about my favourite band which I will link below for anyone interested. But basically it’s something I’ve thought about and wanted for a really long time and getting it done in Brighton meant that I would always have something to remember this trip by and why I got it. I’m so in love with it and so glad I got it done and how special to get it done in Brighton.
I don’t know what it is about this place but it feels like home to me. I don’t know weather it’s because it’s by the sea or the quint little lanes and shops/cafes or even just the atmosphere this little place has but I walk around and feel like I belong. I feel like I can be myself and wear whatever without being judged or looked at. There are so many amazing humans and individuals I witnessed over the 3 days I spent there with so much style and fashion sense that I haven’t seen anywhere else. No one follows the crowd they are who they are and wholeheartedly and completely themselves which is exactly how I feel when I step foot in this place. No worries, no nothing. My soul place, Brighton.
