Today was my last day at panera before going back to Stonehill. It's funny how you can meet new people and just say good-bye. All of the people that I worked with were new but after awhile I forgot all the old people I had worked with and had no problem mixing in with the new. I dont know if I will go back to panera in the summer, I kind of hope not lol but it's weird to think that you meet people and never will see them again. I may never see the people I worked with again. It's kind of sad at first but then you realize that, that is life; an ever moving circle of repetitive occurances. I will always meet new coworkers, make new bonds and then end up having to break them. You can't be best friends with everyone.
I guess what I learned today is that there will be few people in your life that you are close with, even though you will get along and form friendships with many it is hard to maintain intimate relationships with a lot of people.
Sometimes its hard to let new people in your life, because you dont know if or when they will leave. Change for me is difficult and I shy away from things that will normally cause that. But you cant shy away from things because there are only going to be few experiences in life that will change you and if you back down from the few then you wont change and grow as a person; and personally for me I know I have so much more to experience and so much more to change.
Maybe this seems dorky but I was kinda sad today saying good-bye so some of my coworkers. I spent a lot of my vacation working (not by choice lol) so it was predicted that I would get close with the people I work with but I dunno...I can't help but think what's gonna happen to them in the future. When you get to know someone you get intrigued by their life. But I need to focus on my life because who is to say who is going to come in and out and change it.
Side not: I have sunday and monday off so if anyone wants to hang out I'm free because I am going back to school on Tuesday.
