how do you separate insanity from courage? it the madness that drives you heroic boldness or just pure insanity? what do you call a person who travels all the way across 2 countries to meet a person who he doesn't even know will accept his love? what do you then call a person who does not make the trip but knows she will accept it?
my dear friend, if you read this, i salute your madness; yet tis like a dream and dreams don't really come true very often in real life. but it would make such a beautiful story. life is such a game, where you do not know what to expect. roger this my friend: you a taking a step into the unknown where the end may be the sweet taste of champagne in both your lips or the salty sadness tinged tears welling in your eyes.
how it it that when you want something so badly, when you finally get it, you feel a sense of loss? sometimes the journey is more important than the goal and this fact i am suddenly realising again. another chapter of my life is going to pass; not a chapter i had wanted but rather forced upon. but when i think back, i have a feeling i will.
'a form of the syndrome may take place in military basic training, in which "training is a mildly traumatic experience intended to produce a bond", with the goal of forming military units which will remain loyal to each other even in life-threatening situations.' - off wikipedia
bangkok was fun. but everything, even what you hated at first, will have to end after all.
