04/19/2003 Archived Entry: "What We Leave Behind"

I hate packing. It always makes me very sentimental; even moreso than actually leaving.

The end of the term is very bittersweet. On one hand, I'm leaving the people I've been living with for the last 4 months, the city that I call home for half the year, and the friends that I don't get to see when I'm back in Ottawa. On the other hand, I get to see my family and friends from home again; I'll get to sleep in my real bed, have mom-cooked dinners, a car to drive and no school to stress over.

Someone once asked me, about parting, "Do you think it'll ever get easier?"
In my best teen-drama moment, I replied: "Would you want it to?".

Title of the last DS9 episode, right?

...I agree with your teen-drama answer though. As much as I sometimes think I'd like life to be easier... it wouldn't be as good if it were less difficult.

Yes.

and moving just wouldn't be the same if it was just the easiest thing to do. It'd have no weight.
