Tomorrow is our last day here and, like, everyone wants to get together.

I'm going to sob like a bitch and I know it.

I just want to hug all of my new friends okay

Saying goodbye to them will be so painful. Goodbyes always hurt me more than anything else.

Then Shanghai. And then just as suddenly as I'd come into their lives and they into mine, I'm gone. They're gone.

And all the weird, wonderful, irritating, annoying, grating, miserably pathetic, beautiful things of this whole trip are done with and over.

Back to my everyday life.

Back to Byron. My grandparents, my family, my dogs.
