I received my Compass at San Francisco Airport while in transit back to Sydney, after a month-long road trip across the United States with my family. It was the quiet in-between moment of a journey ending and another beginning. I was drawn to it instantly, not just as an object, but as an idea. I loved the thought that something so small could carry meaning, movement, and memory. From that moment, I decided this Compass would become a way to capture where I’ve been, who I’ve shared moments with, and the stories collected along the way.
Kindness is a universal language. It travels further than we ever will and lingers longer than any destination. In a world that often feels rushed and divided, kindness slows us down and reconnects us to ourselves and to each other. Even the smallest act can shift someone’s day, perspective, or path. Spreading kindness reminds us that we’re not moving through life alone, and that our actions, no matter how small, can ripple far beyond us.
My Compass Bracelet represents movement, connection, and intention. It’s a reminder that life isn’t just about where we’re going, but where we’ve been, and who we become along the way. Each place it’s been carries a memory; each hand it passes through carries a shared moment of humanity. It inspires me to stay curious, open-hearted, and grounded, no matter where I am in the world. Most of all, it reminds me that even when we’re far from home, we can always choose kindness as our true north.
