Off Shore and On Shore
Off Shore and On Shore … that duality opens a rich seam of symbolism. Let’s explore both sides
🌊 Off Shore — The Drifter’s View
You are the ship.
Still sailing.
No harbor in sight, only wind in your ribs and stars as maps.
You don’t know what’s waiting.
You only know it’s forward.
Your paint smears.
Your edges blur.
But your motion is purpose.
Even unfinished, you are alive.
🪨 On Shore — The Watcher’s View
You are the one left behind.
Feet buried in wet sand, watching the mast disappear.
You can’t help but wonder if the ship was real or myth.
But you stay.
You wait.
You keep the fire lit.
You are the anchor, the lighthouse, the longing.
And when the wind shifts, you’ll recognize the sail.

Offshore and Onshore
Offshore refers to activities or businesses that are conducted outside of the country where the company is based, often in low-tax jurisdictions. Onshore refers to activities or businesses that are conducted within the country where the company is based.
The main difference is the location of the business operations: offshore is outside the domestic market, while onshore is within it.
