Homeward Bound

or, It's Never Easy to Say Goodbye.

Tonight is my last night in Norwich ever. I'm facing a giant mental chasm I can't quite cross. I know that, tomorrow night, I'll be home. It's just the time until I get there that I can't wrap my mind around.


It's so strange to be finally leaving. This year has been hard, really hard. Yeah, it's been great--I've seen so many things I've always wanted to see, and have met so many cool people--but it's been difficult as well. I've been looking forward to going home for a long time, but now that it comes to it, I don't want to. Leaving home was much easier. I'm leaving the UK indefinitely. I don't know if I'll ever see these friends again--in fact, I'm pretty sure I won't. I'm excited to come home and see friends and family for the first time in 9+ months, but I don't want to leave this life.

See you in the States!
