Once when I was standing on a pier refusing to face the reality that I had to leave and might never see some people there, a staff on the pier said to a sobbing me: "I see you the next time you see me" while I finally decided to walk towards the ferry a few minutes before departure.

I didn't understand what that meant on the spot, however as time passes by, I realize that phrase in the plainest English should be interpreted as:
"People who meet will always meet", or a simple Chinese word: 缘分.

I've been wanting to write something on this topic for a very long time, but always failed to deliver a properly structured writing piece. So this is a collection of random thoughts that I felt like documenting down.

Enjoy.
