Maybe that's just how it is for us nomadic people who have no roots or don't let ourselves grow any roots...
So people come and then they leave but sometimes they connect in a way that you always hope there will be fun times again
I've lived in four different countries across continents and the only consistent thing is the friends I've made and who've stuck around and stay in touch, it might be something really simple like liking every fb post I make or with the world becoming smaller a whatsapp message exchange but makes such a difference and stops us from feeling alone
Alone now there's a word, it can mean different things to different folks... and sometimes it's actually good to be alone and truly try and find yourself
Then again it's the connections that make you feel alive and appreciate your existence and be thankful for the people who've touched your life
Not everyone stays or has lasting power but I truly believe that all these connections help define you and help you grow, maybe someone teaches you resilience and others might teach you to look for positivity in the little things and appreciate all that you do have rather than always looking for something else.. then again others help you be nostalgic for who you once were and help you recreate that magic when you do meet again, while others still help you strive for something more...
Lots of thoughts...
Anyway this post is dedicated to my friend Anu who is embarking on a new adventure, we've only been friends for a short while but I know I'm going to miss her heaps... our shared love for prosecco, champagne, vino and brunches, the long conversations and the shared silences...
Wish her all the happiness wherever she maybe, and know that somewhere on the other side of this small planet which is truly small in the grand scheme of things we'll be thinking of her!
So au revoir my friend... Till we meet again!
