Missing my second family
Why invent the wheel when my feelings were expressed by someone whose life paralles mine?
"The biggest reason, though is my dojo. Part of it, of course, is that I feel I'm learning a ton and I feel bad walking out on so much knowledge. I know I can learn a lot elsewhere, though, even if it's not the same...."
"...A much bigger reason is the people...."
"... But in that time it's become like a second home to me. I love my dojo. I have never felt at home so quickly anywhere. I developed strong friendships with some great people. I learned a lot from great teachers who were also friends to me. And I just feel like I'm abandoning them.
I know they'll understand. If I had explained the situation to them, they probably would have told me that this was my best choice. And I know I can keep in touch, and come back to visit. But... I'm going to miss them. And every time I type that sentence, it brings tears to my eyes.
I hate the way the world works sometimes."
I miss them dearly.
