High fives, to run in the sand, share coconuts, laugh a lot, go on adventures, have a steep-road-drive on the motor bike, laugh about it, joke about not risking your life too much but still a lil bit is fine, catch some waves, cheer one another when it's good and tease when it's bad, climb on some rocks, look at the view on those same rocks, think about our lives very seriously, kinda talk about it but in the end it has no real purpose so jump off the rock and run and shout, have a swim together, splash water on one another, go back up on the hill quickly to take some pics, laugh about it, say hello or goodbye very loudly in Indonesian to the locals in the village, laugh it out a bit, do it again in the next village, have a big breath with your eyes closed while on the motor bike, shout again some more; laugh about it of course.
I'm gonna miss you man. I don't know how such things can happen in real life. Am I in a book ? The way you said "crazy memories." and then looked away got me thinking you also believe we hit it pretty nicely huh?
What blows my mind is that, still, we're basically very, very different people, living across the planet from one another, 7 years of difference, our lives and routines are so so opposite from each other. Yet, I find in you a safe, funny friend with whom i could go anywhere on this, beautiful but sometimes crazy scary island. I think that's so cool and precious, and wouldn't trade those 7 days for gold or silver. I won't forget about you.
