Coming back to school after 4 weeks away is a new experience for me -- just as coming to school was a new experience for me. I'm seeing people differently these days. Not so much as antagonists, competitors for resources and potential threats but more as just fellow consciousnesses that are just present. I feel no real attraction, nor disgust. All I feel is a silent acknowledgement, "You're there, I'm here, I'll give you space to grow as long as you do the same." But where is friendship in this new perspective? I'm honestly not overly interested in people, we're all pretty similar and most are not nearly as interesting as the world around us. But at the same time I feel a vague loneliness. This is something that will only grow as the time away from Madhumita, Will and Eric stretches on. Not to say that there aren't interesting people at school, its just that I haven't really found a niche quite yet.
I ramble, but that's what this space is for, so tough.
