Time flies

I'm losing count of how many days and weeks its been since I've left but I almost feel like I never left home. I feel like I've been here forever and Brazil was a long time ago. It's sad because already I haven't talked to a lot of my AIESEC friends over there. Only a handful of them still message me now and then. But I was warned that Brazilians don't really like to keep in touch. I even had a full out conversation about it with one of them hehe. I think he mentioned that he didn't want to force a friendship on the other person because he wasn't sure if they wanted to still be friends with him. I was just like "wtheck?!" Just try contacting them and find out. Don't just want for the other person to message you. The problem is I'm always the one messaging them so I think I understand what he means. Friendship should be a two way street. Sometimes they should be the one initiating the contact.

Anyways, enough of that. On the weekend we all went out and they actually played some latino music and I was so happy! Except that I had no one to dance with. I'm so used to having a really good partner dancing with me and having so much fun. It kinda sucked. It made me really miss the samba-ing and salsa dancing. So many little things can just trigger a memory or emotion. Like randomly while sitting at the computer I think of the annoying morning calls we got at the conference and was actually missing it. Everytime I think of something similar to Brazil, I just want to talk about it, but then I feel like I'm getting annoying talking about it all the time. I just can't help it though. I need to let it out and explain because my friends weren't there with me to experience it, to know how I felt. I'm glad everyone's been pretty good about it and are willing to listen to the million stories I have. I guess I'm usually like this but not specifically about Brazil so they have gotten used to me. (I hope.)

I'm just happy that my favorite gringos are all back in americano de norte now. But now its actually harder to get together and keep in touch because of our everyday busy lives. I really miss Funk Brasilieros too!!
