Being introverted feels great really, the quiet, the thoughts, the learning, the knowledge. I never was big on experiences, after all, what are friends for? All I had to do was ask them questions like; so how did this feel? What was going through your mind when that happened? Would you do it again?

Yes, I always prided myself in empathy which of course was not a lie, it was not the real thing either. So last week I decided that I needed a break from school, after packing a small bag, I got into a cab and as the driver drove home, I saw two horses in the back of a trailer. It was awesome, I smiled then looked back at the buildings.

At a military checkpoint, the trailer in front stopped, so did every other car behind it and there I was, staring at those horses again. This time it wasn't just the fact that I saw some horses that was awesome, no, the horses themselves were awesome, I read a book sometime ago that called them magnificent creatures, and those were the words that came to mind. I wanted to touch them, feel their skin, perhaps ride one after learning, I was not in the mood to get thrown off a horse.

These thoughts brought along another thought, which went: I want to travel, I want to see places. Unlike the usual thoughts of going to Korea, Japan, India, Singapore, this time, I wanted to travel across my country, perhaps there weren't many great sights but I knew right then that I would find a lot of meaning in the places I would go, I knew I'd grow more in loving everyone from every tribe, I knew that I would understand my people, bond with them, bond with other people until I call them my people too.

Perhaps the most important thought that crossed my mind was that I wanted to share love, so that if one day I find that love gets lost from me, then someone else will share theirs with me and say: "I'm just giving back some of the love you gave me."

Contrary to my introverted behavior, I wanted to share some of my travels with someone, or maybe some two, three or four people, I look forward to and work towards this day. Funnily enough, not just this day, I mean these days, because it will be a huge part of the rest of my life.
