Longing for the Continent
Jan. 22nd, 2009 12:28 amIt's the name of one of my favorite MJQ albums, but it also explains how I feel.
I went from an email from a friend to a new ad that had popped in without having a chance to delete it and there it was. Brussels for relatively cheap. I could do it. I'd be evicted, but I could do it.
For about ten seconds, I thought about it.
Bruxelles me manque, and I don't know why it's so strong right now.
21 years ago Saturday, is the anniversary of my suicidal night. I promised a friend that I'd speak to her in the morning. Keeping that promise was the hardest thing I ever did. Walking home the night after I was mugged was a piece of cake in comparison.
All of that happened in Brussels. But the happiness I felt there far outweighed the bleak couple of months in the winter of 87-88.
How often is Brussels the big selling point for an airline?
I miss it.
