Ben is gone….

He was supposed to leave last Friday but due to a fuck up with his flight booking he ended up staying an extra 5 days. I have a heavy feeling in my heart. I knew all along that he would be leaving so it’s not like it was a surprise I didn’t see coming, but it doesn’t make the situation any easier. The last 4 weeks have been amazing, I couldn’t have asked for anything more.

The four of us are on this amazing adventure around the world but at the same time it’s super shitty. We’ve met some amazing people and as soon as we become close it’s time to say goodbye again. Even if Ben didn’t leave today, I would be leaving eventually anyways. I’ve said bye to my friends at home but I know I’ll be going back there one day and they’ll still be there. When you meet people traveling it’s difficult to say if you’ll ever see each other again. The goodbye is always sad because you always say yeah we’ll meet up in some part of the world, you can come visit me in (insert country here) or I can come visit you in (insert country here), and I think deep down inside we know it’s a lie.

I hope I’m wrong this time. I hope this isn’t the end.

To my dear Ben, thank you for being so wonderful to me, for taking care of me, for listening to my stupid stories, for appreciating Universal Solider as much as I do, for teaching me about Farmville, for the good times, for the laughs and for the love.
