around athens :: two

∴

hello! time is 5.30 in the morning and i have a bit of a trouble sleeping. i 've counted numerous happy sheep, cats, dogs and other domestic animals but nothing can't do the trick.

the truth is that friend is going back to london this afternoon and i got the blues. we had a wonderful time together; watched total 11 films, had lovely time coffeeing {new word} which mainly included endless chatting, a bit of gossiping and some smoking.

we explored athens downtown, walked miles and miles, danced in madonna and 80's rhythm, attended a fun drag queen show, and had alcohol that will keep us going for at least a year or more.

last night, we decided to drink to our friendship and celebrate the end of our one-week holiday at our favourite jazz in jazz. photos from our secret gem.

the thing that troubles me at the moment is how we say goodbye; after the numerous farewells i have said in my life and all the people i have parted from, for short, long periods or forever, either because it was my decision or not, i should have actually become an expert; even write the ultimate manual on the art of farewell.

i think saying goodbye to a loved one is the only thing that will always cause me a sort of pain inside, emotional one but very similar to the qualities and reactions of a physical one. new thing is that i am learning to live with it and accept it as part of life.

hopefully, i 'll see tieu in two months time back in london. and maybe, i won't need to say goodbye to her again.
