When distances are measured in time and oceans, we cannot simply quantify the gaps. Separated bodies are marooned and shipwrecked, waiting to be found. To be so far causes the heroes of these tales to set sail, testing the potential of presence through deep reminiscing, craving a specific flavor of happiness, and fearful of missing the yet to be met. When we visit memories like places, overdosing on nostalgia becomes a way of life.
