Starting tomorrow, one week left in this barren wilderness.
I can't wait to be back home amongst friends, amongst family, amongst Stephanie. I've been through an innumerable range of disparate emotions, and have generally been unsure about what I want. This is the longest I've been away from people I know, and without the motivation of meeting people(what's the point? I'll never see them again) I've felt more and more alone, hoping for a connection. This has been the most difficult era of my life, and I'm happy to begin the next. I'm happy to have a home.
I guess if I was exiled to mature and find myself, mission accomplished. Break open the champagne. Toast. I wish none of this was necessary, but I now give credence to the phrase "live and learn." I think I'll make a wise old man, one day. If I don't die a foolish death, first.
