I am sitting in my room. I just arrived back at my guesthouse after seeing the last showing of the Dark Knight with Chon. On the ride home, as we sat together in the back of the cab I noticed her silently counting with her fingers in her lap.
"What are you counting?" I asked her.
"Three days left in Bangkok," she said to me, referring to my flight on the 23rd. "Today is the twentieth."
We parted ways at the "T" in the road and I turned on my heel to look at the empty raining path behind me, though once again I did not expect to see anything.
About Me
- Seth
- I have begun to set somewhat of a trend for myself. Bouncing from here to there, from work in wildland firefighting to a maintenance position at the Plainfield Park District. From humble beginnings in Joliet, Illinois to an even more humbling journey across mere pieces of Asia.
Now, life has moved once again. Graduate school at Tel Aviv University. I am studying in a one year, international program. At the end of it all I will have an MA in Conflict Resolution and Mediation.
So here I go. All that is left to do is jump.

I find it humorous that you are in THAILAND and have still seen The Dark Knight before me! I'm jealous!
It sounds like you're really liking this girl. I know you're trying not to get attached, and for good reason, but don't let that limit your last 3 days. Do whatever your heart desires.
When the heart and brain conflict, most "sensible" people tend to do what they KNOW is best. But I think that doing what your brain says, just to spare your heart, tends to leave you with a lot of "what-if's" and "shoulda's". Follow your heart, cuz. It's a lot more resilient than you think.
Love you!
