16-12-09 (Wednesday) "Airports"

To me, this is what airports are.

The interval between one chapter of life and the next. It is at airports that we say our goodbyes to certain characters in our lives as we discover other new characters elsewhere.

It is where we temporarily physically lose someone dear to us, who has been there for us and around us for the past period of time, no matter how long it is.

It is the starting point of the test of relationships, whether the physical and geographical distance would be stronger than the bond that was forged in the short time together.

It is the period of suspense when one has pretty much left one place but has yet to see what is on the other page. That short pause is filled with anticipation and excitement, mixed with feelings of sadness and missing people.

It is... Quite a lonely and quiet place to be in despite the hustling crowd around. Especially when the trip is made alone.
