I am unconsoled, I am lonely, I am so much better than I used to be


I'm sad today. Woke up that way. All the friends I made in these last three months are leaving, and the majority are leaving for good. These last three months have truly been some of the best in my entire life. I never thought it was possible to cross paths with so many good people in such a short period of time, and I have a harder time believing how many of these people ended up being some of the best friends I have ever had in my entire life. Concepción, as Robert would say, is something we could not have done better, it was as good as it could have been and we are all lucky to have been a part of it. I have to say goodbye to Robert tonight and when I do I know it will mean, at least for me, that this whole chapter in my life will have come to an end. There are some kids on this trip that I was much closer to than others, they know who they are and I hope that means they know how much I love them. I just can't believe this went by so damn fast. I keep thinking about how I will watch that bus leave today at 9pm and how my heart will sink. I know I am headed to Santiago to study and that I have traveling to look forward to, but it just won't be the same...all the laughs we shared and just the fact that we were all so comfortable together, how we meshed in seemingly incomprehensible ways, how we were all just so damn different...so different, but maybe that was the genius of it all, maybe in the end we were more like a massive puzzle that finally got put together in Conce. I bet if we could take a step back and look at the puzzle completed, it would look more like a beautiful mural than some cartoony ass dibujo. Hah. Yeah. So here's to the other pieces in the puzzle, my better parts. I love you guys and I will never forget you or how you completed me. I can't wait to have a reunion, to meet you guys in the states with a fresh perspective and a bigger heart. Thanks for all your love, for all your patience, for all you laughs, and all the shit talking we did on pulga and precolombino. And yes, I am still looking for a way to keep in touch with Gaston, any sugerencias?

Con un amor fuerte y complejo,
Tim

Cuando la tristesa viene por amor, bienvenida sea la tristesa porque es la confirmación de que ese amor que sentimos fue, es y será real.

I would like to say good bye to you face to face, not by this way, but as I see now, this is all what I have because these days I'm plenty of no time (if it's possible to say that). But I do really hope to see you these days or maybe next year and then we can talk again, thank you for show me a different point of view of many things that have touch some little parts of my heart and mind and made me see some different colors of the same picture which has been painted long time ago, but now it seems more brilliant and happier.

Love, Luciano.

Keep in touch fucker!
