And So Nevermore Shall We See You Again
There's nothing I hate more than losing friends. When these people have been with me for a significant portion of my life, or in a significant time in my life, to think that I'll never speak to them again is more than enough to depress me. When my depressing thoughts become reality, what is there to stop the tears? Yesterday was Lauren's last day at the theater and, while I will talk to her again before she leaves for Orlando, there was a cloud over everyone last night. Stefanie and Carmen are gone, too, and New College has let out for the summer. Some of my closest friends have graduated and will be going on to the next stage in their lives, which, unfortunately, I can no longer take part in. I ask everyone to bear with me if I'm not at my best right now.
This is something I've had to deal with before, but have never been very good at. I don't like change, especially when it involves a situation I enjoy very much. I remember graduation from high school being very rough, realizing that it was the last I'd see of so many people. Meeting someone that summer who would become one of the closest friends I've ever had helped a great deal, but it still hurt. I'm sure this has something to do with why I study history, looking back on how things used to be. Maybe, someday, I'll discuss it, but for now, I'm going to try to get some sleep, seeing as how it's my day off. I'll see some of you for the ritual tonight and some of you not long after that. Some of you I'll only see for a short time before we part ways for awhile, and still others I may or may not have had the chance to give my last regards. To those of you who are still with me and to those I've lost, I'll never forget any of you and I love you all from the bottom of my heart.
