hi, man.

"i don't keep a travel diary. i did keep a travel diary once, and it was a mistake. all i remember of that trip is what i bothered to write down. everything else slipped away, as if my mind felt jilted by my reliance on pen and paper. for exactly the same reason, i don't travel with a camera. my holiday becomes the snapshots, and anything i forget to record is lost. apart from that, photographs never seem to be very evocative. when i look through the albums of old traveling companions i'm always surprised by how little i reminded of the trip..."

fragmento de "the beach" de alex garland

por eso, a lo mejor pienso que puede ser contraproducente escribir aquí. temo sólo recordar lo que aquí anote. no obstante, mi memoria está tan atrofiada, que es posible que sin esto como guía, termine por no recordar mi existencia. so we follow.
