Shanghai

I’m currently sitting at gate 19 of Shanghai Airport (terminal 1). I’ve called my parents and home feels closer than ever. I’m still hearing from my friends from exchange, and I’m the closest I’ll be to both worlds. it’s odd to think that they’re so far apart.

sleeping on international flights should be easier. oddly enough I don’t feel overly tired - I guess I’m excited to be seeing my family very soon. I completed the final journal entry of my adventure on the plane, and feel as though I should do some reading or writing, but my head is in a different place right now. a lot of thinking going on.

sleep will help me realise it’s over. for now that fact isn’t real, I’m just outside both worlds right now. this is somewhat comfortable at the moment - the same distance from each life. its all a little surreal << x
