saying goodbye

When you leave one place to move to another and you have to say goodbye to them, do you think its so hard because deep down your brain knows nothing will ever be the same. You go away and you have new experiences and learn and see things you never saw before and it changes who you are. That’s why i think it’s so important for people to travel as much as possible. I don’t understand how anyone could never have a desire to go anywhere else. I have a desire to go everywhere.
My friend Gerry just stopped by and that guy is always an inspiration to just take it all in, meet as many people, and go as many places as you can. He can make the best out of any situation and I have never seen him with anything less than a positive take it easy attitude. He will just pick up and travel alone which i think is really cool. To be able to have a good time with or without someone is foreign to me and I hope to be able to do that one day. He is going into the wilderness for the rest of the year to build a cabin for someone and plans to live in a camper on the guy’s property. Crazy, but I totally get it.
One lesson I learned this evening from Gerry was always just get the free phone when getting a new phone. He opted for some sales special and paid money for a tiny little phone with a screen on each side that he can’t work and it’s a pain in the ass. So the lesson is don’t be a fancy pants, just be cheap and happy.
Happy Trails.
