Lisbon Airport Pics (LPPT)

I wanted to go back in my mind to Lisbon this week and revisit some of my photos from there before the pandemic started. What I ended up finding is that there were a few photos that seemed to tell a story of a turbulent relationship. At the same time, I recently watched the film The Worst Person in the World so the way relationships work or just don't work has been occupying my thoughts a lot lately.
I've had the good luck of finding my partner when I was just 18 and have that relationship last but I do have friends that don't really relate to the idea of wanting to be in a relationship and I think that's interesting too. Humans are kind of limited in the way they see things...you're either in a relationship or not/single. But, this also subconsciously presents the idea that you might want to be or even should be in a relationship and they clearly aren't for everyone.
I think the pandemic itself really put relationships to the test. Though my own grew stronger, I had a few colleagues and friends get divorced. In the American work obsessed culture, it is fairly easy as time goes by to become very career focused and start changing as a person. I think when two people do that, they might become a bit different than how they started out, especially after a number of years. There were all kinds of control issues people manifested too in sometimes dangerous ways. But, in addition, there were also couples who, when face to face all 24 hours didn't really recognize each other anymore.
In any case, this next week's series is about the arc of a new relationship and, it starts out with the want to be in one. The longing to share your ideas and experiences with someone can be quite a strong one and is what might cause you to consider the idea that you'd actually want to be with someone else.

A vibrant city filled with magic, beautiful places and a great weather most of the year. Lisbon is each day getting more notorious in Europe as a destination to be visit. The reason are clear when you get there to know the city and the surroundings. It is really a wonderful city to live in...
Lisbon’s trams are characteristic for the city streetscape. The historic yellow "electricos" rattle and screech through the narrow streets of Lisbon. The scenic and iconic route is the 28E, which crosses the Alfama district.
However, what sounds and looks kinda romantic is a actually quite weird in reality and an image of the excesses of today's mass tourism. If you want to ride the 28E tram during normal daytime hours, you need to queue for ~2 hours to get on board...
