hello / goodbye.
Monday, October 23, 2006
This weekend is ME time. I am staying at home, watching seasons of my favorite TV shows, reading, listening to music -
Spending so much time alone has given me the chance to evaluate my life. Looking through old pictures last night, I've realized that every place I've visited in the past two years - I have left a little piece of me behind, and discovered something new about myself. Over the past two years, I've left cities having resolved my feelings, or discovering new ones for new people.
You know when people use that cliched line - 'you seem different' after you've just returned from a trip? Its true for me - I've come back home as a different person - whether I was depressed or calm or euphoric. I think I really believe that travel changes your spirit - even if its a 5 hour road trip - saying goodbye, saying hello - maybe it has had more of an effect on me than I ever thought possible.

ahhh thats the best kind of travel! You should read Alain de Botton - "The Art of Travel", his writing is fantastic... :)
hmmm ... This does happen with me as well .
I have often heard friendz, relatives saying me that I look different, but in most cases I dont feel any difference .. Maybe its because they see you after a span of Time ...
