I feel as if I am slowly disintegrating from this world, to reembody myself elsewhere… physically, even though it’s just mentally and emotionally. Conrad calls it checking-out, and maybe it is. Regardless, it is exhausting as I try to stay present.
During my last week of breaks I still take walks in Los Gatos and I realize I have memorized cracks in the pavement, houses, trees… I love the neighborhood, and moving on makes me appreciate it even more.
The pressure of making the best of our last month can take its toll, though the most pleasant and memorable days are the regular, no-pressure ones.
We love spending time with friends, and we like our goodbyes to be short and sweet. And we are so excited about the new adventure!
