Leaving a city
Leaving a city
It’s my last week in Paris so don’t be surprised if I don’t post anything this week.
It’s the fourth city I’m leaving in the last four year and I began to realize that each and everytime, I’m identifying each and everything I’ll do for the last time, important or totally irrelevant stuff. Like, hey, it migh be the last time I’m seeing this person to it’s most probably the last time i’m having a burger at Quick (but i said that so many times already ;P). I think it’s such a ridiculous thing to do, though. Coz each and everyday, you’re doing a bunch of stuff you’ll might not do again for either a: a really long time or b: never. But somehow, when ur leaving (at least for me), it makes sense to identify all those little moments. It helps you in appreciating them a bit more coz you know you might not do/see/meet/eat/drink/whatever that again. I guess it also helps me in accepting my departure.
Anyway. just my two cents..
