I’ve been at the backpackers in Lisbon for two nights. And in that time the entire social crowd has evolved and changed.

My roommates last night were entirely different from the night before. And the ones tonight will be different again.

Each person you meet here is on another part of their journey. Some have just started a 7 month trip around Europe, some stayed here as the last stop before heading home.

This coming and going, constantly changing means that the experience evolves every day, leaving no room to get attached.

I’ve always been someone who wants to hold on to things how they are. For example, when I left my university res I was distraught… because things would never be the same again.

But change is the only thing that is constant here. Which forces me to experience a moment instead of trying to preserve it.

And in turn, I’ve become comfortable with the constant coming and going.
