"All these places had their moments..."
I was reminded by a friend ((cough))Robby((cough)) about this old thing. I must confess I haven't updated Caveat Lector (http://www.blogger.com/profile/05286912794374301474) much either lately. But I figure if Amber updates her still, perhaps I should too.
I have to keep a journal in England and Europe anyways. I might as well start now.
Things have been so surreal lately. Part of me finds it so strange to be here, at this point in time, NOW. I cannot believe I have graduated, that I am about to leave on the trip of a lifetime, and will soon leave for university. The other part of me is glad and scared all at once.
I am excited and slightly guilt-ridden. But for once in a long time, I am excited. The future can only be bright.
These past few weeks have been hard. I think Simon & Garfunkel had it right:
"I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain. It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
I am a rock, I am an island...
I have my books and my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock, I am an island."
Boy, did I feel that was right.
But, I yearn for friendship. I feel like parts of my soul are missing when they're not there. I just hope the friendships will be strong enough so the people will not be scared away. Hopefully.
I'll end not with a quotation but with a link to one of my favourite songs played by one of my favourite violinists.
