Left Behind
What to do what to do. Everybody has their dreams they want to pursue and when opportunity knocks, why wait? I think I’ve just felt a small blunt blow of how my mother felt like when I graduated from college and saw her in tears when I received my diploma.
You build a strong relationship with another person and what happens when they just, “have to go?”
My friend, probably second to best, is moving back home, or what we like to call, the Philippines.
Pursuing her dreams; reuniting with her family.
The bright side of all this is that she’ll be happier with her life and she’ll be with her loving relatives; however, I can’t help but get a sense of feeling left behind. I totally understand what she needs to do and I’m full heartedly happy for her as well as her endeavors; but is it wrong to feel sad? Or am I happy right now?
I’m not sure of my emotions as of yet in terms of if I’m happy, sad, or a combination of the two.
Visiting the US is no easy feat as well; we’re talking about years of saving up money and planning for just one week.
Six months left; that’s all we’ve got. As much as I want to say, “we’ll be the same people when you come see us again…” I highly doubt if that’s going to be true. We all change in time; but I will guarantee this regardless if we do or do not see each other ever again after you leave:
You’ve made an impacting effect on my life and there’s no possible way that I would have become the person I am today without you; every success and every failure you have been a part of, and you will be for the rest of my life; there’s a little bit of you in my personality.
THANK YOU, and possibly goodbye.
