I so understand your feeling of needing to move beyond, "to be lost in a sea of strangers." It helps to hear that others have similar feelings and desires to see the world.glued blue glasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06848563572933601699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32901588.post-26221738815660693632007-02-07T02:59:00.000+04:302007-02-07T02:59:00.000+04:30Oh my.

Sometimes saying goodbye feels like it is going to take every fibre of our souls. But then God passes us along a journey and gives us more gifts - that although never quite replace what we have lost - open unknown and exciting doors. <br /><br />There are somedays I am so happy that life changes and somedays I wish I could just keep it the same.

I can no longer even remember all the dates of the places I've traveled, but the people and the places, I carry with me wherever I go. Your post is very powerful, sweet and sad - like life. Some of us are just made for constantly moving, embracing change and hellos and withstanding goodbyes. It is simply not possible to stay in one place for long. Sometimes I envy those who can. But then I remember all the people along the way and am grateful for every journey.
