道别
10月5日我买了1月初回国的票。关于买票听了朋友的提醒早点买，这是我第一次提前如此早的买票。朋友是会做计划的人，而且对于旅行做攻略也是非常强。
7月底的时候我也跟我的房主确定了后面从9月到12月的继续续住，是当房主提醒有人要来看房的时候。第一次我说好，然后再次又提醒我有人来。促使我认真思考了下，并且搜索了些海边的房源，但没有合适的，主要是去学校的通勤时间太长了。
我定住房也没有一次性订齐，虽然有事提前1个月沟通大家没问问题。但我总觉得可能会有些其他的发生，或者说我的想法会有变，我就可以随时再次调整。也是此时我知道房主已经订好了1月初去越南旅行的票，我是比较惊讶的。这有点强，提前半年的时间。
当我买票的时候，我想这个是不会变的：NIE卡日期也到了，回去也要过年了。为什么是10月5号，是我与朋友们线上会面后；家人朋友都在等我回去。
我随时准备新的尝试，并且身边的人对我的影响来说一般比较大。
订完后，我还是有些期待，对于这次的出行也只有3个月的。我只是想接下来安排更多的体验。9号瓦伦西亚自治日放假一天，街道是比较吵闹的。我有些慵懒，也不想凑热闹，晚6点时，我出去觅食，饱腹后周边逛了下。
这个时候，我发现我的心情有些不一样，我有点开始准备跟这座城市道别。我拍了些我熟悉又不太熟悉的和自己常走的街道；有意的开始记录和细细的跟这座城更深的链接。这天多云，风大；很符合我的心境。
今天早上，我一打开我的房门，Miso（喵咪）蹲在我的房门前等我。温暖的同时，又勾起了我的不舍。Miso改变了我对早上时间的安排，我花了大半个钟以上跟他互动并照片记录，一起体验着这些。
我跟姐姐说，我觉得我又开始跟我现在的城市在慢慢的做道别。
她表示理解和说：没关系，人生的主旋律就是离别。
看起来有些伤感，但没有相遇也没有离别；也没有无缘无故的遇见。所以，我更珍惜所有的相遇。而我也知道，每一刻我都在随顺往前和体验。
好像也是安排好似的，现在再回过头去记录我的体验和经验。能让我记住的，也是对我有影响的片刻。我选择用这种方式分享，一是对自己的梳理，二是有缘人能看到相互碰撞。如果能引起某些共鸣，那我们内心相视一笑。
PS. 接下来2篇图片分享我目前生活的街道和猫咪Miso。
A Farewell In Advance
On October 5th, I booked my flight home for early January. It was my first time buying a ticket so far in advance, following a friend’s advice to book early. She’s the type who plans meticulously and excels at travel research.
At the end of July, I confirmed with my landlord that I’d be extending my stay from September through December—prompted only when they mentioned someone was coming to view the place. The first time, I agreed casually, but when they reminded me again, I gave it serious thought. I searched for seaside rentals, but none were suitable—mostly because the commute to school would’ve been too long.
I didn’t lock in my housing all at once. Even though a month’s notice was sufficient, I felt things might change, or my own plans might shift, so I wanted flexibility. It was then that I learned my landlord had already booked a trip to Vietnam for January, which surprised me—planning half a year ahead felt almost extreme.
When I bought my ticket, I knew this decision was final: My NIE card would expire, and I’d be returning for the New Year. October 5th was the day because, after an online meetup with friends, I felt it—family and friends were waiting for me back home.
I’m always open to new experiences, and the people around me tend to influence me greatly.
After booking, I felt a quiet excitement—this trip was only three months away. I wanted to make the most of the time left. On the 9th, Valencia’s Autonomous Day, the streets were lively with celebration. Feeling lazy and unwilling to join the crowds, I went out at 6 p.m. for food. After eating, I wandered around.
That’s when I noticed something different in my mood. I had begun, unconsciously, preparing to say goodbye to this city. I took photos of familiar yet unfamiliar streets, the paths I often walked—intentionally documenting, deepening my connection. The day was overcast, windy; it matched my emotions perfectly.
This morning, when I opened my door, Miso (the cat) was waiting for me, curled up just outside. The warmth of the moment also brought a pang of sadness. Miso has changed my morning routine—I now spend over half an hour playing with him, taking photos, savoring these small rituals.
I told my sister, “I think I’ve started saying goodbye to this city, little by little.”
She understood and said, “It’s okay. Life’s main theme is parting.”
It sounds melancholic, but without meetings, there would be no farewells—and no encounters happen without reason. So I cherish every meeting. And I know, with each moment, I’m moving forward, going with the flow, experiencing.
Looking back now, it feels almost predestined—these moments I choose to record are the ones that have touched me. I share them this way for two reasons: to sort through my own thoughts, and to collide with kindred spirits. If they resonate with someone, we’ll smile in silent recognition.
P.S. The next two posts will be photos of the streets I live in now and Miso the cat.
