As things come to a close, I yet still have another few months here in China. Fall has come and soon to pass. I find myself being in Beijing for a little longer. It's funny how life works: everything falls in place, there is a stage set for the next scene. (yes, i'm feeling a little artsy at the moment and no I don't have a glass of wine in hand).
And then you ponder if you settled without fully realizing? I told everyone that I wouldn't live in Beijing, then ironically, I find myself several days later extending my stay. I try to imagine myself in the next few months, alone. It is refreshing, yet a little sad that the friends I have made here will come and go. Who knows if I'll see them again, who knows what they actually think when they leave. We all split onto our own ways, but I hope some of them I will cross paths with and reconnect, over a cup of coffee perhaps. I really do hope so, as some are quite innovative and I want to hear about their success conquering or making it a better place. I guess I shouldn't be shedding tears just yet, as I have another month with them. But I try to ween myself off, so as to prepare myself for the January alone in Beijing as a young non-studious adult, and for the time that comes to truly part from them. It'll be a lot harder than with the bunch I had in Belgium though I'll confess.
