Five-Day-Family
Jay was right. The hostel/traveler lifestyle is formed of five-day-families.
People you share showers, rooms, breakfasts and shots with.
People you take advice from without defenses;
and people who
are able to become more of a family to you than your family ever was.
They see the current version of you and the way you have developed.
They don't see; or are not concerned with
the spots you had on your face when you were growing from the black sheep to the princess feminist you are today.
They don't see; or are not concerned with
the double chin you think you always have when lying awkwardly on the couches.
They don't see; or are not concerned with
the unloving and unloved aggressive teenager.
Because they see
the single chin loving princess
you are today.
Jay stayed ten days.
