They weren't stars, but they twinkled anyway. We didn't see any streaks across the sky, but you still made a wish. That's what I loved about you. Always able to make the best of the situation, never faltering in your faith that everything was as it should be.
I enjoy traveling for no other reason than to see how the world works. Tourist sites don't really intrigue me, it is how people live... how they survive against the odds that captures my attention. But sometimes, it's also how the world lives without people. From seeing the struggles of people in the slums, to how life in a desolate field can flourish; it all reminds me of one thing: that life is truly valuable.
It puts things in perspective for me.
In another year, after graduation... I expect myself to be traveling profusely. I pondered about graduate school, about going right into the work force, but I have an opportunity that very few have. I figure that it would be a pity not to take advantage of the cards I've been dealt, so it is likely that I won't be spending much time on this continent anymore.
I'll constantly be moving again, never stopping. I had thought that after graduating I could take root somewhere and develop my personal life. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to say goodbye to most of my friends because of this choice. I hope that somewhere along the way, I'll meet someone... who is just like me.
To the stranger whom I hope to meet in the future: take care of yourself until then.
