Don't Forget
February 2026 – Novosibirsk Airport – Gate 6, waiting for boarding:
I just remember that back when I was 20, maybe 22 years old, I used to sometimes go on a trip to Frankfurt Airport just to experience the atmosphere, hear different languages, maybe buy an English newspaper, go up to the observation platform and see the planes leave. Back then the best thing I could imagine was to travel.
I have done it. It’s my life.
I totally forgot about those trips and my excitement. My hopes to someday travel, like all those people at the airport. I thought it would be amazing.
I shouldn’t forget those trips. And I should be more grateful for what I have. It is what I always wanted. There is nothing to complain about. Still, I hate travel days.
But I should also acknowledge that I am in another season now. Travelling is tiring and I want to settle now. I want to find a nice plot, a little house, make new friends and have other types of excitement.
In which season are you? What are your hopes and dreams?
