This isn't goodbye...
Monday, June 23, 2008This morning, I said my first goodbye. This is just the start of a string of goodbyes for the next couple of weeks. *sigh* It has not fully sinked in just yet.
It's getting more and more real by the day, though. With my on-the-spot decision on my travel plan. With Mum asking what food I'd like to eat once I get back, and if I have packed my bags ("Muuum, it's two weeks away!"). With plans shaping up with friends back home. Sometimes I forget that I have a one-way ticket and won't be back to this place for a looong looong time (And then I get depressed when remember :( ).
But, goodbye shouldn't be hard, should it? It should just be one of those things that happen in life. The cliches have it - Nothing lasts forever. Especially having been moving places a few times, it should get easier. But nooo.... my first one was the easiest and it's going downhill since. I wonder why...
