Travelling for a month...
Finally, I have some time to sit down to sort through the photos from the past month...
***
The word "freedom" is often associated with travel, but along with that comes displacement and estrangement. I can't say whether traveling so much and working around the world is an ideal lifestyle. I'm starting to worry that I can't settle down. I can't say whether or not I'm happy, but I know for a fact that I'm glad.
I'm so glad I went back to Auckland this time, though it was brief and abrupt, I got everything I wanted: I found out that there is nothing else there for me.
I wanted to get my heart back, but as my friend said "You can grow a new one."
My dear friends from New Zealand: thank you, good luck, and I miss you all.
