There are so many things about this that I am jealous of.
I will tell you a story I've been thinking of a lot.
It was my junior year of college in Iowa, the very end of it, in that last excruciating handful of weeks. I remember taking a walk with my girlfriend around the picturesque Iowan streets, and as we passed by the healthily big houses, we'd imagine ourselves sitting on the porches as we were old, drinking teas in their sunrooms, cleaning up the messes in the attics. It was just one of those perfect days--like when there's sunlight falling through the trees and it makes everything look green. And I remember I saw a beloved professor walking towards us. He was an older man, I'd say. And he said hello to us then gave us this smile and told me "Hold onto moments like this."
I didn't pay it much mind at the time. I thought that there would be dozens of days like that. But soon the semester ended and me and the girl swept into a messy breakup, and it's only in memories do I realize how special that time had been.
Korea finds me lonesome today.
