If similarities bring people together, differences fill the space between them.

But just because two people live together, doesn’t mean they have to like the same things. Just as two people can understand each other and not be close, two people who don’t understand each other can be there for each other and live in harmony. Refraining from throwing looks at someone or judging them just because they’re different from you is the first step to mutual respect.
And if we can respect other people’s differences as polite travellers, we’ll witness many beauties different from ours.

Travelling alone is a few notches above even the highest level of honbab. In addition to eating alone, you have to plan your own route, get around, make decisions and deal with said decisions with no one else to consult. Whenever my friends were too busy, I’d go on trips by myself. Slowly, I became a pro at being alone. I quite enjoyed the rush of making decisions on the move – Which museum should I see? Which tourist spots to skip? Should I take the straight road to get there quicker, or the seaside road for the view? At some point I started to believe that aloneness resembled order – efficient, comfortable, beautiful.
