Time Traveler

[xquisiteqt]

He asked me if I'd miss him. I told him that I was more excited for him than anything. I knew that he had to go on this journey without me. He was finally fulfilling one of his life-long dreams. In a time of career disappointment, this realization was absolutely essential to his mental well-being. He called it "surreal" on the way to the airport.

He came in last week for lunch and I approached him. When he's back, come in for dinner and we'll talk! What's his email again? I told him I'd tell him all the hot spots to go to in Thailand.

Well, just let him know to check out Emporium Mall, Siam Square for shopping! He HAS to check out the Emerald Palace!

Sounds like a big change... good luck to him. It's always a little bittersweet to see people go off and pursue their dreams.

[xquisiteqt]

well, it's probably more appropriate to say it was bittersweet that we'll be apart for the longest time yet.

This is a really beautiful post! It's also great he's doing what he's always wanted to do. A much needed getaway to learn more about the world and about oneself.

[xquisiteqt]

i agree.
