This is for Siew
I’m sitting at the hotel/hostel lobby in Berlin, looking like a crazy asian in FBTs and a t-shirt (it’s about 7 degrees now). I’ve been awake since 4 am (thank you, jet lag) and the excitement I felt 2 hours ago about being in this cool cool city has significantly subsided. I just reread Siew’s email about her talk with Foo and I feel genuinely happy for her that she finally realizes that she will be able to handle whatever happens. The sun is rising, 1000 Things is playing in my ears, and I can’t remember the last time I felt so content alone. Call this travelitis, or something.
I just want to remember this moment clearly as the one that I realized that I will be okay, regardless of what happens to me in the future. And I believe that you will be too, Siew. :)
