My consciousness in streams (A messy place it seems)
- It feels great to spend effort on an important friendship and have one's efforts rewarded in the form of the recipient's pleasure and happiness. Especially vis "once in a lifetime" occasions! And even more especially on a tw_ _! (some jokes are worth reviving and continuing; some truths can best be expressed or hidden in jokes).
- It sucks to find yourself growing steadily more accustomed to living in a place, and then to realise you have but 8 more days in said location. Uprooting is always hard, even one is not a tree.
- It is absolutely wonderful to discover the joy of renewed/refreshed/continued and enriched friendships, from various stages of one's life; the curious sense of joy one experiences at seeing those whom one has spent significant time with grow and mature, and begin to plot the course they shall follow, is a fearful, strange, wonderful and awesome thing - during and through the experience, one simultaneously becomes aware of both how much and how little has changed with time, and of how the diamond-in-the-rough that so many of us are in our youth can, with some skill and no little measure of luck, be polished into a many-faceted jewel of great worth. I dont think I need to go into the merits of being single versus being attached - suffice to say that, as with all things in life, there are two sides to the coin, and I've been lifting up the 50c piece and seeing what the other side looks like.
(Is the single side Heads or Tails, you say? I dunno - being attached perhaps means Head is normal - if lucky! - whereas being single means checking out Tails all day long. Maybe that
's it!)
- I'm incredibly blessed to be able to fly as much as I can, because if it wasn't for my particular situation, I wouldn't be able to fly 6 times a year - especially not just for a week to celebrate my birthday! Thank you, God, and thank you, Aunt.
- Speaking of blessings, I'm incredibly lucky to have the friends that I do. I wont name names, because (invariably, just as in an awards acceptance speech) I'll forget to mention some vital types, but I think you all know who you are. Much manly affection (which is, of course, code for 'love')
- It does rub, at times, the need for secrecy and covert behaviour. Obviously cannot be helped, however! Here's to a suitable resolution, at some point in the future.
- Here, also, to those who have turned/will be turning 21 soon - myself included! Let us face the dying of the light with dignity, being at all times of proud carriage.
- Let us also, of course, remember that we dont actually have to talk strange after we become adults. For some, its nothing more than a lifestyle choice.
- Intellect seeks intellect. Like seeks like.
At the end of the day, it's been a great trip back. Many thanks to those that made it so, and to those with whom I frequently interacted (what a way to put it!) over the past 3 months, I shall return!
In closing:
- BC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Must finish NJO!
- And finally, a sedate sentence, sans exclamation marks: I will be returning, just a few days after the 28th of March, so consider it not unreasonable for me to perhaps expect a little something. :) I'm glad things were well received! PP paper and all :D
Time laps at the sand of memory, erasing what came before.
