"I would hate to see you leave."

"I won't be disappearing from the planet. I'd still be around."

"Of course, I know that. And don't get me wrong; I'm all for people fulfilling their dreams."

"Come and see me."

"I don't know."

"Why? Your parents?"

"Oh no!"

"Work? You can't get time off?"

"Oh I can."

"Why not then?"

"I'm just not sure if it's a good idea."

"Oh. Well, it's just something that I have been thinking of doing for the past 10 years, and now I've decided to make it happen."

"I'll visit you when you're in Venice, then."

"That's the attitude I'm looking for."

Then that's the attitude I shall have. Now I only have to convince myself and make myself be that way.
