Closure

The last days of summer are coming to an end. The leaves are turning and my dark bruises are healing. Sometimes finality is something I have to cook up on my own: a pinch of sadness and a whole lot of gratitude. I’m content. I know I have done everything I’ve wanted to do here. I’ve said everything I wanted to say. I left no stones unturned. I could always stay longer but that’s not the point. I lived here and I fell in love here. None of this would have happened without you. I’m thankful for the beautiful city and the people of Buenos Aires but I’m also thankful for you who supported me every step of the way. You shared my joy when I was happy, you comforted me when I was sad and you encouraged me when I was doubtful. Now I have to get ready for a new adventure. Come along with me. I can’t guarantee more reports of delicious food and crowded milongas but I hope there will always be passion.
