Reflections...

So today is the day that begins the future. Oh how horrid that sounds to be saying goodbye to all that is known here, and forcing myself welcome on a ruthlessly stoic world. Sadly saying goodbye to friends will be easy, saying goodbye to this place, the city, will be daunting. There is some connection I have had here that I have never had with a person, the reliance, the understanding, even the undignified slop that is both MY room, and MY city. Peace is the contrast to the bustle of downtown, Emptiness is the contrast to popularity, SIMPLICITY is the balance to which a complex world (or city, or person) leans towards. I can thank the city for everything I have had, and for everything I have lost. I will not miss it, I will actively long for it.
