entre les trous de la mémoire

I'm flying out tomorrow, to the other side of the globe. I really look forward to seeing my parents, but the 15 hour flight is not going to be so pleasant. And I have to go to the airport in the morning. Among all non-geographic locations, airport is my least favorite. I dislike the experience of getting to the airport, going through customs and security, and waiting for hours at the gate before you get on board. It's often a rather dreadful procedure. But that's not the only negative airport feeling I get. For me, it doesn't matter where I'm heading, whether a place I like or not. It's the feeling of "leaving" saddens me. I like places that I can grow attached to and airport doesn't do it for me. It is cold, impersonal and unfriendly in some ways. Though, I do love picking up people at the airport, it is always delightful.
