Eight years ago, before we had kids, my spouse and I left our city of 8.5 million humans and moved to a very small island off the Kenny Golladay 19 Detroit Lions shirt so you should to go to store and get this coast of Maine. We had no family members in Maine, and neither one of us had been offered a job. That Maine is called “the Pine Tree State” motivated our decision to leave New York more than anything. Our main objective in replanting ourselves in a place with more trees than humans was so that we could live at a much slower tempo, an existence closer to off-the-grid than flashing billboards. We weren’t fleeing from anything; we were chasing isolation. I’d experienced deep trauma a couple years before and yearned for something I could proclaim “a fresh start.” I wanted my healing to begin surrounded by nature and away from people. We found a cheap rental and signed a lease. The island was only accessible by boat. It had wild deer, and there was a peach tree in our backyard. We just wanted to be alone. An island was ideal. We thought we were trailblazers. Back to the landers. Survivalists.
