prelude: a trip to london
The London trip was not my idea, but it became my solo trip. People suggested that traveling can cure a confused heart, but i had never taken it seriously until the day i was left alone. A voice inside whispered “I must go alone.” I listened, and realized that I could have wanted a quiet lonely trip for a long time. When I ordered the plane tickets, I looked forward to pure solitude and tiring walking routes. Unexpectedly, it soon turned out to be a total different thing — good company, warm hospitality, and a lot of shopping. Well, my dear solitude, maybe next time.
