Seven days to my flight that I won’t be in. Seven days to all the faces I won’t see. Seven days to the hugs I won’t get. Seven days to me losing faith, hope and bright. Seven days till all the color disappears from my eyes.
It’s a fancy airline. Two stops, in which I’m allowed to leave the airport. Aisle seats in all of the six planes, which is weird to me. In my trip to the USA last summer, I had a window seat in all of my flights.

Usain Bolt: What the World’s Fastest Man Means to Jamaica — Repeating Islands
The country’s greatest hero since Bob Marley runs in the Olympics for the last time–a report by Morgan Jerkins for Rolling Stone. When Usain Bolt smashed the 100-meter World Record in Berlin of August 2009, it was both expected and unexpected. In Beijing of August 2008, Bolt ran the 100-meter in 9.69 and beat the rest […]
