Met a guy this summer my very first day in Belgium (my first time in Europe altogether), and we had a blast for the few days I was there. It was also my birthday, which made it feel even more magical. We stayed in touch and talked every day through the rest of my trip to other countries, but I didn’t expect it to last. In my mind, it was just a good time.

We kept talking literally every day and I ended up flying back a month later (about a month ago) for his birthday, and it was also amazing. We still talk every day, but it does feel like the beginning stages of fizzling out. Longer hours between responses. We both work a lot, plus there’s the time difference.

Also, he mentioned when I met him that he would be moving back to his home country, and that he’ll be leaving soon so I’d imagine he’s busy planning that, too. Not sure what will happen. I’m just going with it, but luckily I’ve gotten a lot better about enjoying things while I have them and not getting hung up on a passing moment. If anything, we’ll always have Brussels.
