the people you meet

so far on my journey, the people i've met have been the one thing keeping me going. they make you laugh, they make you cry. every day is like a week in the normal scheme of things. people come into your life for a few mere days, and have such an effect on you that you feel you'll never be the same again. everything moves in fast forward - its impossible to explain unless you've been here. backpacker land time moves at the rate of a jet plane - the relationships you have here feel like they've been going on forever. its unique. part of me never wants to leave. part of me craves a return to the real world. although sometimes the relationships you make here are infinitely more real than those you make in the real world - and in turn, experiences as intense as this make you realise how facetious that real world is.
