If You Want to Achieve Greatness, Stop Asking for Permission

We’ve been in Thailand for twelve days now and Keifer has bought us one-way tickets to Cambodia. I don’t want to leave Thailand, but truly can’t wait to explore more of the world. He isn’t the worst travel partner to have.

The goodbye between Keifer and Kieu is awkward. There is a lot of built up sexual chemistry mixed with frustration and it’s just pouring out of them both. I’m almost embarrassed to be witnessing it all, as if I’m invading their personal moment. Feigning interest in my phone is the only way not to gape at them.

“Don’t forget about me again like last time. It’s been too long since I’ve heard from you.” Out of the corner of my eye I see her slap him across the head. “It only takes a couple of moments to pick up the phone.”

“I’m sorry. Really. You didn’t deserve that.”

Suddenly, I hear the smacking of lips. My heart seizes in my chest and I spin around so they are not anywhere in my vision. My stomach is in knots.

“You ready?” Keifer appears beside me like nothing happened. I can only manage a small head nod. He takes it without question and begins leading the way.

“Nice to meet you!” Kieu waves at me from the background. I return the gesture and then follow Keifer inside the airport.

I feel gutted and yet know I shouldn’t be feeling this way. It’s been four months and one week since I was married and a mother. Four short months. I don’t deserve to feel anything like this yet. Not to mention with someone who is related to Finn in any way. Keifer is just a friend and I’m just confused because I’m lonely. That’s all this is.

“Are you okay?” he asks, breaking me out of my thoughts.

I nod my head without verbalizing it. I feel betrayed by my own body and shouldn’t be feeling this way. I’m just grieving.

“You’re being quieter than normal. Usually you would have complained at least six times by now.”

I smack him lightly on the arm, but can’t force a smile on my face. Instead, my heart feels heavy. Breathing deeply, I attempt to combat the tears from falling.

“Okay,” he gives up, and I’m more than relieved. I don’t have it in me to address this today. The flight is a short hour, but sleep calls. I need to shut off my brain.
