“I was very fond of you, but now I’m so, so tired. I’m not happy to go, but one needn’t be happy to make another start.”
— Albert Camus
This is painful.
“Do you like me?”
“No.”
“Why? I give you my all”
“I didn’t accept it.”

I miss being on the road.
I miss waking up in an unfamiliar place. I miss seeing a place for the first time. I miss the motion, the laughs, uncommon frustration, the eyes scanning the sky, familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.
I miss the sight from the moving bus window and realize how similar and different life can be base on where we come from. That these places are home to people who live here their whole life, who spend their childhoods chasing every street and corner, and we are just passer by.
Some people travel to escape, and some people travel to be home. And maybe I’m stuck in between. Stuck on the road, where most of life can be found.
Maybe my home is the open sky. It’s the taste of salt water in the air, the silence of the trees, and the road in front of us waiting for new beginnings.
