Today is a great gift: That's why it's called the present
We sometimes drag out old pictures to reminisce.
I was telling Erica the other day that I don't really miss things. It kind of fell out of my system to linger onto things. Jesse's recent post, talking to Kirk, and recalling my discovery in Agra, India may hold a clue.
The people I left behind so that I can grow.
The City I love - vibrant, laid back, and multi-cultural.
Some people I met along the way...
Good 'ol times! (one of my favorite photos)
AIESEC dayz...
HK life (Life is really tough out here...)
New faces, new places.
GAP photo shoot. Well, this was the only photo I had with Duncan in it (my wonderful flatmate).
But in the end of the day, it dawns on me that I don't "miss" these things with intense passion. When I went to India, everything was so amazing, and I tried to capture the moment and not hold anything back. I "like" the sense of nostalgia, but the amazing feeling never returns as it did in that moment.
My selfish plan is to continue having amazing connections with people but not to get too attached to hinder forward propulsion.
Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

You don't leave people behind. You take apiece of their personality, love, and inspiration, hate with you where ever you go...
