Visit to St.Andrews
I went back to the place I love more than anything in the whole world from the 3-7th of November. I feel like if I wrote 100 thick tomes about how much St.Andrews means to me, I could still write a couple more.
I can't explain how loved and adored it makes me feel, wheter I am in the company of the friends I love that I have made there and now left, the friends that I love and are still there, thinking about the solitary moments of St.Andrews that I treasure, or in my mind's eye viewing familar sights of the town that make my heart soar.
It has made me the person I am today, a person who is happy just the way they are, who isn't afraid to say "World, this is me, and I really like who I am", even in my moments of darkness.
Part of my heart lives there, and always will.
St.Andrews summed up in one song, "In the Aeroplane over the Sea" by Neutral Milk Hotel:
"What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
What a beautiful dream
That could flash on the screen
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me
Soft and sweet
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me
And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be
In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me
Anna's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
Soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees
Now how I remember you
How I would push my fingers through
Your mouth to make those muscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet
And now we keep where we don't know
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
With one you loved so long ago
Now he don't even know his name
What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
And when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all"
