The title is inspired. I especially enjoy hearing from a writer with a very different life from mine or anyone I know. I'm in awe of performing artists, but even more of the people who work in the wings. That's the sort of person I prefer being, putting on the show and watching the audience love it.
"falling from the sky into the stream of someone else’s life can be disruptive if you insist too much."
This I can relate to as well, as I moved to another country about ten years ago, and have tried to keep up with friends via zoom and sometimes visits. But I hadn't thought about how disruptive it can be. "Hi, I'm here for three weeks. Let's conduct our friendship over a single lunch!" After a while, does the friend want that? We lose our place with each other. On the other hand, sometimes we pick up like no time or distance.
Thank you for reading and leaving your thoughts! I never know if this part of things is interesting for people to read about so I’m glad you enjoyed it. :-)
A friend of mine moved to Taiwan a number of years ago. When I had a trip to South Korea I asked if she wanted to meet up there. I think because she’s also in a similar situation as you, the notion of going to a whole different country to meet someone wasn’t insane.
