loveboat memories.
summer 2005.

i’ve almost forgotten that feeling. that one month trip i took summer of 2005 with over 200 overseas taiwanese college students from around the world.

the 24/7 sammie and melo. the freedom.

sammie and i sat for hours going through old photos on her computer last night. reliving the moments. laughing.

i remember how i cut myself off from home. no cell phone. no internet. there’s some sort of relief from that. to have no contact with anyone but the people around you.

how did i do that? i couldn’t do that now.

i miss that feeling. it’s hard to explain.

to spend a whole summer in a foreign country that becomes somewhat like home. knowing that after 30 days, i’d probably never see the people i’d been laughing, seeing, and spending every moment with. to have no responsibilities but to enjoy the next 30 days with 200 new friends.

it’s a feeling that only those times, places, and people could hold.

life is short. live it up.

one of my greatest fears is that i will look back later and regret.

i hate it when people say that your years in college are the best years of your life. really? this is it? after i graduate, life goes downhill?

i really hope not.
