However, once you have shared happiness with someone you truly love, no experience can ever be the same without them there with you. Now, no joy is complete if my wife and children are not there with me to enjoy it. Thanks for the reminder Peter. I was also a loner for quite a while.

An example would be when you watch a movie. When you watch a funny movie by yourself, it is funny but you don't laugh out loud because you are by yourself. When you are with friends or family, however, you laugh with each other. Sharing great experiences makes me much more happy! Tad http://growingintoyou.com/ Peter,

What I can tell you, though, is that my gap year was one of the best things I have ever done. I mean, it changed everything and led me to meeting Kathryn, becoming a father and now living in Vancouver. In regards to losing touch with people, modern technology does a great job of helping people stay connected. It is not the same as being with someone else in person (as I said in my article), but it is still enough to keep relationships with your friends and family strong so you aren't forgotten.

I left India, despite opposition from my father who owned a successful business, to be on my own. After arriving in US, I went through rather emotional ups and down at Penn State while I was doing my masters in Mechanical Engineering. This was first time I ever left my hometown and I was excited initially but quickly felt nostalgic. However, I still felt deep inside that I have begun a meaningful journey and to this date I am not looking back. I thank my mother for all her moral support and wisdom during those days when few times I wanted to quit and go home. Great article. Shilpan Peter,

I am scared the people in my life will, not so much forget about me, as lose touch with me...and I'm just scared of losing the people in my life. My passion is travel and serving others. I would do this during the gap year...alone. I do not know how I feel about that. I, like you, am considered outgoing and social. However, I enjoy spending time alone as well. Any information or suggestions would be wonderful. Thank you. The only thing keeping me from taking a gap year after college is not sharing it with anyone.

That sounds like so much fun. I ski rather than snowboard, but I thought the pic at the start best captured what I wanted to say in this article. For those who are curious, the reason me tackling the mountain solo was that we were visiting family over Easter in a place called Kelowna, which is 4-5 hours drive from Vancouver. Kathryn and I have been out many times together in the past, but snowboarding is not the sort of activity you want to do while pregnant. I wasn't totally alone though. I had some great chats to people on the chairlifts. Oh, and I saw lots of parents teaching their young kids to ski.... a few more years and that will be me :) Thanks for sharing your snowboarding story Ricardo. That sounds like so much fun.
