GwangHwaMoon, Seoul, South Korea
For one reason or another, I tend to gravitate toward the familiar especially when it has not been a part of my life in the recent days. I sit here, at this very spot, where I pondered the possibility of returning to the states. It has been 16 months since I left Seoul. Sixteen months... It is incredible how fast life can move and alter its course. I have never imagined that I would assume a life of a modern day nomad... traveling from continent to continent... without a permanent place to call my own.
Aside from the noticeable, yet temporary, mustache and beard (appearance is not one of my priorities at the moment), I have grown considerably older... older and worn. The months of endless deadlines and urgent tasks have taken a toll on my health and most likely have shaven off couple of years off my lifespan...
I sit here... drinking the same coffee, eating the same cake... wondering if fleeting moments of past sixteen months were ever real.

hmm.. drinking coffee on a regular basis can also take a toll on ur health too... I guess time really flies esp when one is caught up with work or is having a good time.. or perhaps both.. Whatever you've experience, I hope it is real. If not, it'll be as if those times have never existed..
