Sometimes when people who really matter to you go to a different continent, to start a new life, to meet strangers, to find new people who'll make them smile or cry, to go shopping with new found friends, to bitch out about the weather or the bad service in a restaurant, to trade books with new faces, to familiarize herself with a strange park, to wear Ugg boots, to see kangaroos and koala bears -and blond surfers- alive and breathing on a strange land and you aren't there to witness it all. You feel yourself tear up and get emotional. Not because you've been with this person for a very long time, but for the sole reason that you've just found one of the missing pieces of yourself and yet destiny has a different plan for everyone. With tears on your eyes, with the bittersweet emotion you deal with, you feel that you just have to give her your blessing, not because she needs it or she's asking it from you. You give her your blessing because you are the one who needs it. To reassure yourself that everything will be okay. That you will not be forgotten across a different timezone. Because for a fact you know that a part and important chunk of yourself goes with her to that strange land that's going to be her new home. That no matter if the seasons are different there the special bond you shared with one another will not melt like snow or wilt like a leaf in Fall. That you're connection will always be in a state of Spring-blooming,fresh,and full of life.
I will miss you Ate Ria!
