The world is a big place. We all get so wrapped up in the day-to-day stresses of our own lives — whether they’re big or small or anywhere in-between — that it’s easy to forget just how vast our surroundings truly are. And how many things call those surroundings their home. Nowhere is this truer than the open ocean.
The setting is one of the most important parts of any story. It explains how certain characters became the people we know, while others act in the way that they do. There’s an inherent history in a setting. A layer of stories on top of stories creating an intricate web of detail and personality that allow us to really latch onto a narrative. To feel as incredibly invested as we so often find ourselves in the midst of a grand tale.
Every holiday brings with it a cause for celebration. The best thing about there being so many is that you’ll always be looking forward to one or another making its way towards you one day at a time.
