143 Days in Espania

Summer romance novels have always put me in a less than pleasant mood. Reading about two young people finding themselves in each other is nothing more than a reminder of how lonely I am, and will always be. It was a reminder that there is no one out there who is compatible with me, or at the least finds me appealing in a romantic way.

As I moved to Spain for the summer with my family, I only prayed that the people in this new country were different than the ones I had grown up with. Different is better. Most of the time.
