So, I've officially finished my last assignment at SAU. I'm packing my stuff up, saying goodbye to friends, and getting ready to delete my FB account for good.
This is one of the weirdest feelings ever.
I was crying a little at the end of my last class today. I'm really sad about not seeing most of these people again on earth.
I think it's okay to be sad, though. I've spent a lot of my life covering up my emotions or badly expressing them. I'd like to just be sad right now: not despairing or hopeless, but sad about the friendships I will be losing.
This isn't to say I'm losing every friendship I have here at the Arb. Some of my relationships are just going to become more difficult, and I'm excited for it. In today's world, the internet and cell phones make relationships easier to create...but they also make us lazy. We're too used to easy relationships, and when relationships become hard, we have a hard time looking on the bright side of things. Relationships that go through hard times, however, are strengthened! This is also why I'm sad: I know several of my best friendships here are going to become much harder to keep up. However, it's also why I'm hopeful, because I know those friendships that last will endure for the rest of my life.
I guess I'm full of mixed emotions today...but that's okay.
Peace.
