It's been a long while since I've written last. A lot of things have happened, mostly good, some bad, yet I'm coming into this next semester with a struggled serenity that I'm desperately clinging to with a smile. This break has given me little reflection time, but the amount of it that I have done has been far greater than any amount I did before this hectic time of rest.
I'm coming into this semester with new challenges -- small ones compared the grand scheme of things -- and I feel ready to tackle them all. A door to a relationship that was once my world has been slammed shut and locked, and I know that the only thing I can do is move on with my life. The old skeletons must lay where they lay, closed away in a dark corner, hopefully to one day lose their stink and become preserved in the decay of their memories. I hope to never hear their bones crack and groan again now that they've given their final shout before locking themselves away. Rest in peace, dear bones, for I hope you one day forget about me even though I won't forget about you.
It is now the morning of a day that will amount to many hours of introductions, little amounts of food, and squinted, sleepy eyes. This new place where I live, while it has many wonderful qualities, leaves me tossing and turning in the morning hours from the sound of buses below where I sleep. Today I say goodbye to a loved one, who is leaving this place for something greater, and I send him away with my love and luck.
Cheers to the start of a new year.
