After a peaceful night's sleep at the Coast Campground in Point Reyes National Seashore, Sydney wakes up and snaps a selfie to welcome her 40s and document the moment. She is in her tent, wearing a green Fjallraven sun hoodie, with her green eyes matching the shirt in contrast with her purple camp pillow. Her mouth is covered by the shirt, and she looks peaceful - peace that is hard earned after a decade heavy on healing.
At Point Reyes National Seashore, Sydney wrote "39" in the sand. The pacific ocean roars in the background as the waves clear what she wrote, taking the stories of her 30s out to sea and offering a fresh perspective for her 40s.
