*A student once came to me and asked, 'Teacher, what is love?'. To that I replied, 'Behold the wheat field, just there. Walk through it and pick the finest stalk, but you cannot turn back. You must walk straight through'. So the student went and when he returned, he was empty handed. He said 'Master, I did find the most perfect stalk, yet I did not pick it, because I thought I might find an even finer stalk. Yet I did not, and now am I empty handed'. 'That,' I replied, 'is love'.* ~Plato~

i saw this today and havn't been able to get it out of my head. anyway...i'm really sad today. its finally beginning to sink in that this whole big era of my life is coming to an end. uuugh i need to go cry some more. shit it was so pathetic i cried myself to sleep last night. i havn't been this unhappy in ages...sorry! damn i'm going to depress the world if i keep this up. well, right now i'm off to fail my math final, then we're going back to dano's house to pet those freaking cute kittens again. i'll write back, i swear.
