Airports

I’m sitting at the airport and returning home for the first time in a year. Even though I don’t expect much of an exciting time in Vegas, the whole experience of getting there has been an enjoyable one (thus far).

I never realized how much I missed these places until today. I used to be a seasoned traveler, racing from terminal to terminal across the globe. Then senior year happened and then job hunting happened. Ergo, traveling became only a fragrant memory. I didn’t even have time or initiative to visit home for the holidays.

Though coming here today, using the LightRail, roughing it on my own and getting lost in new places, trying to meet physical deadlines with a racing heart — all of these situations makes me feel alive again.

I had forgotten how many eclectic people there are in this world. It’s amazing how many people culminate without segregation in these airports. On the train ride here, I watched a tourist family from Kentucky talk about their hometown in their country accents. I just watched them from across my seat, mesmerized by something so simple.

I miss meeting new people. You can only be complacent with like-minded individuals for so long. Even at this very moment, I’m people watching and loving every moment of it. Different faces, different verbal expressions. There’s so many diverse backgrounds in life but also so little time or possibility of getting to know them all. I’m not saying Seattle is that small, although people lingering in the same geographic region tend to think alike. It’s very refreshing to see such …change.

Phew! I’ve gotten very peppy writing this entry – probably a direct result of me about to board a plane to Vegas: where people tend to culminate from around the world. But even in this airport, to just be in this environment again, I’ve recharged my appreciation for traveling.

Overall, the main lesson learned from today: next year, travel more with no excuses. This is what will make you happy, reliving the elation you feel in this very moment once again.

Where are they?

I’m frustrated again because I just can’t meet any good-hearted people.

Social Mediiiias!

This is a trend I shall NOT conform to. But then again, what kind of marketer would I be?

Reminder to Self About Others

Just because you speak with confidence does not necessarily mean you are correct.

I’ve met a lot of people like this in my life. They talk the talk, but when it comes to getting things done, they fall flat on their face. When it comes to being correct and astute with their observations, they just don’t have a talented eye.

How annoying. I really hope I can transcend these bozos soon and shove their words right back at them.

Hikes!

Went on a hike to near the top of Mt. Baker. Unfortunately it was still winter in early July…
