Kevin. One of my nearest and dearest friends, one of the very few people who truly 'gets' me, and the only person who shares my intense desire for a somewhat nomadic lifestyle. Nomadic probably isn't the exact word to describe what the two of us crave, but it will have to suffice for now.
He's currently on an overnight bus to NYC where he'll spend a few days before embarking on a very big and exciting journey to South America. He's headed there without much of a plan, with minimal clothing, and he's doing it all on his own. He's looking for something though I'm not sure he knows what it is that he's hoping to find. I suspect finding himself is the main goal.
He's been a huge source of motivation and support for me over the past year or so, and though I am very proud of him for taking this trip I am so sad that he's gone. Selfishly it's because I am in Toronto without him now. Without a plan and without Kevin to tell me that everything is going to be okay... ahh, but that is what email is for, right?
I'm only sulking because he ended up getting out of town before me. The plan was that I was going to be leaving about a week or so before him... and we all know that plan has changed. Anyway, as I told him tonight, I'm not bitter - but it should've been me. Haha, no I'm kidding. Really.
I will miss him though. But at least I have the gym to keep me company.
