Saying goodbye is never easy, and saying goodbye to a new friend who lives on the other side of the world was tough. She was the first of the intern group to leave, and it made it all the more real for us. Her leaving reminded me that eventually I’ll have to leave too, and no matter how much I want to stay I’ll have to pack my bags and go.
I often complain about teleportation not being invented yet. With all of our crazy advances in technology, why aren’t we able to teleport? There have been so many times where I want to be at two places at once. I want to be with my sister in California, but I want to be with my friends in Hawaii. In my mind I think that if I were to be at two places at once, it will make saying goodbye easier.
The struggle of having many homes is that your heart is in too many places. Currently my heart is in San Francisco, San Diego, Barcelona, and Oahu. Pretty soon I’ll run out of love to spread, and saying goodbye will be impossible. But I never want to say goodbye. Instead I always wanted to say see you soon. With my heart being in each place I visit, I know that I’ll return.
