airports.

"The best part about airports lies in what they symbolize. 

Airports are places of bookends: new beginnings and long-awaited endings, arrivals and departures, hellos and goodbyes. 

We start in one city to end in another hundreds or thousand miles away. 

You enter from a desert and exit into a blizzard. In from winter, out into summer. 

In from familiarity, out into something completely foreign. Or vice versa. 

An airport is a place of transit, and not just geographically. I wish there was some sort of time-lapse to show how people change between departures and arrivals. 

When I arrive back home from being away, I’m never the same person as when I left."
