121; Full Circle
It's been in the back of my mind for a while now, but seeing Toshi's post really reminded me. In 5 days, I'll have been here exactly a year. When I arrived, this place was so bare and empty... there was no one else here. And nobody got here until Luke, three weeks later. I think that was the longest 3 weeks of my life. Especially since I knew Kir wouldn't have any idea where I'd vanished to.
Econtra has changed a lot since then. Not just physically, although there's been a couple times the whole compound got redesigned. But just the overall feeling of it. It doesn't seem as much like a prison as it did at first. It's still not a happy place to be, but it seems to be a community. There's still plenty of crazy and the Warden is still... well, Warden-like.
If I hadn't have come here, though... I would've never met all these friends I have now. And I probably... wouldn't have found Cassis again. At least, not before it was too late things got complicated. More complicated. I would've never known about other worlds or realized the kinds of people -- both good and bad -- that there are out there.
But despite all the good things that I've experienced here... and even some of the weird things... I'm just tired of this place. I know that must sound very egoistic. Nobody wants to be here, and we all want to be sent home and not be involved in a war that doesn't have anything to do with us. I don't mean to make light of everyone else being stuck here or anything like that.
I've been here a year, and... I'd really like to go home. That's all.
