People will always come and go in your life, but living in a different country you realise this far more often than if you stay in one place for a long time. You make bonds and connections with people more quickly than you perhaps would at home and yet sometimes you stay more detached so as not to be hurt when the person leaves.
Tonight I said goodbye to a friend who has come to mean a great deal to me in a relatively short space of time. I've only known him since June and until the past few weeks, we would only see each other quite randomly as his work was based outside of Quito. We've been hanging out together a lot for the past two weeks and our friendship has moved to a different level of closeness, not in a boyfriend/girlfriend scenario, but just the closeness you have to someone you know well and are completely comfortable with.
