update
i'm way behind on posting but here's a quick one just for an update. my travel compadre and i have split, due to various practical reasons like money, time, and sickness. when you travel alone, it's true that you can do whatever you like when you like. however, this is the only benefit and traveling with a companion, i've decided, is infinitely better. he's probably still on a bus, heading for Chile. at the moment, i'm in Copacabana, Bolivia.i have much to say about our 5-day trek to Machu Picchu but that will come later.
for now i'll give the observation that traveling makes you realize how many people there are in the world that you could potentially fall in love with. at the same time, the very nature of travel makes a love relationship almost impossible. it's a strange feeling to think about where you were born and about what if you had been born in a different place, who would you fall in love with? traveling allows you to meet many more potential lovers, but unless it is "true love" it is a love almost never fulfilled.

man i feel you about that love thing, ive been thinking an awful lot about mia.
but good thoughts for sure, it makes me rethink that whole "one and only" thing. rather, it makes me see how silly it just might be. either way, miss ya kid!
good thoughts on the falling in love! i´ve been thinking an awful lot about mia during the bus ride...man, rough beats.
but yeah, it makes me rethink that whole "one true love" thing, or rather it makes me think it might be some silly, invented thing for some to make money off of.
but yeah, miss ya miss ya kid!
sorry i didn´t mean to publish both comments-you wrote three you know, they go to my email first before i publish them, that´s why maybe they didn´t appear at first.
i don´t know though...i´m still thinking about one true love. still thinking.
really? only one...... and if u miss out on that?
i´ve been thinking.
notice how i said "potential" loves. i´m not going to argue yet one way or another but i will say that it´s possible that there´s only one, no matter how many people you meet.
as for missing out, that´s a question of faith. if it´s only one, you´ll know it when it comes and when you know, there´s nothing more to be done. that´s it, and that´s beautiful.
maybe. i don´t know. i´m just thinking with all the potential loves, it´s like there´s so many people you could be great with, but how many people would you be perfect with?
