I am at a reflective point. I need to come to a conclusion before Sunday at 10 a.m. Not about one particular thing, I just need my one final thought on this city and some of these people. I have figured out that I pegged many of them wrong and I am regretful for that. I know I will miss many people much more than I will let on when I say goodbye. Some folks I will never see again, and that is a good thing in some cases and a sad thing in others.
I guess the only thing I really need to validate is the fact that I have learned something about the world and about myself, something that will carry me into this new place finally ready for the experience. I need to conclude that the time I have spent in Boston so far has been worth the sacrifices and the struggles. It's been worth all the heartaches and there is nothing in the world I would trade for it. The positives outweigh the negatives. One insane course of events has not ruined college for me no matter how much you wanted it to.
Now it's time to cut our losses and head out. Have a nice life? I'm already having one.
