I love how you write about the details of reality!

I remember sitting in Barcelona, Spain, on a warm Summer's night, alone on the smallest plaza, lit by lanterns which soaked it into an unreal orange. Staring amazedly around me, trying to grasp that this was indeed reality, jotting down the impressions of my first weeks into my new adventure of having left on a one-way ticket.

Just recently, I read an article abodt how the father of the writer would sit back, look around and say: 'if this isn't good, I don't know what is!'

This has stuck with me and since then, I have held my breath, taken in my surroundings and my feelings and thought: if this isn't good - what is? ☺

My guy.... been thinking about the same idea

People always seem to want to get away -- ie I want to move from Toronto to SF, not realizing what makes their current home special

Romanticizing what they don’t have at a detriment to what’s currently in their hands
