I Heart Portland

I Heart Portland
I Heart Portland

This is my first day in Taipei, I missed everything in Portland already
I miss being able to call my friends when i want to
I miss the sweet smell of cigarettes
Miss English speaking people
Miss the freedom
And most of all, I miss not feeling uncomfortable while walking on the streets


I had some weird dreams while I was on the plane, I won't go into details,
I listened to Dr. Dog's "Ain't It Strange" the whole flight, that was the song Steph was playing in her car when she took me to the airport, it makes me wanna cry, and i started remembering things that i shouldn't remember.

I remembered that I dated someone a while ago, it was a long distance relationship, and I tried everything I could to stay at the same place with that person. Now we finally are under the same light, three months after we broke up. Ain't it strange?

I remembered when i first moved out of Taiwan, feeling like someone just dropped me alone in a foreign land. Now I'm finally back to where I grew up, and i feel like a foreigner all over again. Ain't it strange?

I remembered each and every person I met in Portland, some of them i remembered the most, some of them i have faint images in my head. I remember all of them, but i can't remember why i decided to leave them behind. Ain't it strange?

Ain't it strange that we always make decisions thinking that we will be ok with it until we're not?
Ain't it a shame.
