i hate to see you leave, but i love to watch you go...
goodbyes... i hate them.... but is hating to say goodbye to someone worth the standoffish attitude of why would i let you in? this summer i came here with that belief, don't let people in, you're just going to leave in a few months.... and for a while i allowed myself to believe that, but then, julia came along, and if you see us together you'd think we were childhood friends.... and then david and i began to talk more and hang out and he and i just have the most stimulating conversations... and then you have cider (julia's boyfriend) who is shy, but somehow, we've gotten close and he's now such a wonderful friend... and nathan, and lauren, and so many others... i'm going to miss them all, but this summer has been amazing!!! i've learned so much about others, about myself, and about how things in life just kind of fall into place, or fall out of place... each day is a new adventure, you can't discount one in hopes of another one, you have to live each day for what it's worth... each today is yesterdays tomorrow... and each yesterday was once today.... regret is something not worth having, leave it behind, not looking back.... often times, as a good friend once told me, it's not the things we do that we regret, it's the those things that we don't do that we do.....
