If winter comes, can spring be far behind?

Airport and stuff

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.


This year I'm a little frustrated that the break is less than three weeks, yet the air fare is just as much. It's still worth it all. I will see my parents whom I haven't seen in a year. I will also get to babysit my little first cousin once removed. It's going to be precious.




time too, go on

I'm pretty good with dates, and as I remember, it's been exactly a year since I met this sailor who survived a shipwreck. Throughout the year I have been adjusting to some changes and I finally come to the realization that time doesn't heal, nor does it kill. What you do with it is what matters. It gives you something you can always look back at, whether good or bad. And when you do look back, though it could be painful, you will know what to leave behind.
