The Only Thing That Matters

Overheard Conversation

I have always loved watching travel vlogs on YouTube. It is inspiring to see people spending time hanging out by the busy streets of California and New York, eating at fancy restaurants. I have tried doing these things back im Singapore, but of course, the vibe here in USA is different. It's like living your dreams to reality. You know, a lot of people are dying to visit this place.

One fine Friday evening when I was strolling a nearby street to look for a diner to eat at, I overheard a group of teenagers talking about the upcoming San Diego Comic Con. I could tell that they were so excited to attend.

   Girl1: My Captain Marvel suit is ready, I just hope Brie Larson would notice me when I wore it to the event.
   Boy1: It would be my first time to attend a Comic Con. I wonder what it's like to be in there. I hope Star Wars cast would notice me given that I'm not wearing costumes.
   Boy2: The souvenirs are what I'm excited about the most. Now that I have a job, I have the money to complete my Game of Thrones FunkoPop collection.
   Girl2: I won't leave the venue on Monday until I got a picture with Isaac Wright.

The rest of the conversation is laughter and screams.
I felt a sudden jolt in my body the moment I heard Isaac's name. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Should I wear a costume? Should I buy a gift? What kind? Ugh! I'm starting to panic.
I spent so much time listening to their conversations I almost forgot that I haven't eaten dinner yet.
I ran back to my hotel room, as fast as I can once I'm done buying a nice meal from a steakhouse.
