DEADLINE

It always happens. There comes a moment  when you realise that time was flying but you didn't see it until it was too close to avoid it. Admit it, you're never gonna have enough time to do everything you want to do. No guys, you don't got time. Time is money, and as that, it comes and it goes. Being able to count the amount of days is painful. How many days you can have that diner, go to that station, meet your local friends, say hello in that language, go for a run in that path. Knowing that there is a countdown , knowing that some day it will be all over. And the worst part is that you do know the deadline. But you can't freeze the moments and you don't know how to take the most out of it. It would never be enough. So enjoy every single moment while you're abroad. Each of them has its own magic and meaning, something you won't have later. It's hard to leave, but it's even harder to come back. A piece of yourself is staying in that place, and a new you is going home. You'll take with you all those things that mattered to you during that period of time when you were away. People will tell you that you've changed, while you'll see that they haven't. You may come back with new expectations, new tastes and new hobbies. But what you used to have at home won't fit anymore.

I'm telling you this because saying goodbye hurts, but saying goodbye for good, to yourself, to what was your own life for a while, hurts more than any other.
