Today the world changes so quickly that in growing up we take leave not just of youth but of the world we were young in.
- Peter Medawar
I am all packed up. And I've finally got my emotions all packed up too. I've been exceptionally sad these last couple days. I couldn't help bawling while trying to pick out a mug from my parents' cupboard. Can I really say that? 'my parents' cupboard' I guess it's not mine anymore. I've said goodbye to some of my very favorite people. Part of me feels like I'm dying. I feel urgent about seeing everyone I ever knew to say goodbye. Like Charly.
My iPod 'leaving' playlist conists of:
The Night Before Life Goes On - Carrie Underwood
Don't Forget to Remember Me - Carrie Underwood
I'm Leavin on A Jet Plane - Jewel
Stop this Train - John Mayer
Breakdown - Jack Johnson
Letter to Me - Brad Paisley
I do have my emotions all packed up. I can't convey the melancholy I've felt over the last few days; because i've replaced sheer nostalgia with something else. Excitement? Maybe. Nerves? Definitely. Trudging forward? Most likely.
