13 days..

that's exactly what the note in my phone says..

13 days!!

means I have exactly 13 more days before I go to Shanghai.

My emails now discuss our departure,

updates say that everything's there already!

People talk.. and they talk about the things we need to bring.

Obviously, everyone's excited!

I used to feel excited about this trip too!

Shanghai, I thought,

what wonderful adventure you would really be!!

But earlier I just watched Breakfast at Tiffany's..

and then thought about my forthcoming trip..

I felt sad.

Why? Idk too.

But I figured, it must be that the movie hit something within me..

free-spirited, wild things.. are we really??

or really, are all these efforts to escape the need to face and accept reality?

is it really an adventure, a search for oneself..

or merely just a way to wander around..

while still refusing to stay put,

let other people in, and just..

just face the music!! and genuinely accept what life has for you.
