Lost Lullabye

[lawrsong]

When I first arrived here and discovered the other i-jin, I assumed we'd be here semi permanently, if not permanently. But lately it feels like a revolving door, with some people leaving within weeks. It's a constant, worrying reminder that the rug can be pulled out from under you at any time. I try to keep my mind from it, but I still wonder what those people are facing at home. Is it war? Certain death? It's sad that those with a terrible life get dragged back alongside those who want to return. When my mind wanders to them late at night before bed, I mourn for their loss and feel a sense of guilt for all those wonderful (or at least interesting) people I never met in person. I'm going to change that and meet more people. Even if I can't save anyone from their fate at home, the least I can do is get to know them and learn something about their lives. I should've done that all along, but it's easy to trick yourself into believing you have all the time in the world.

Now, to make this post less bleak, does anyone have any interesting career stories to share?
