Goodbyes

Everybody's been saying their goodbyes...its a funny feeling...to be leaving your hometown of eighteen years for some strange place with strange people having a funny accent...And when you should be anxious...worried about leaving...about staying at a place so far away from home...parting from your family your friends..you're just too busy to think...it doesn't really sink in this way....except for when the people who love you look at you and say that they'll miss you...that you must take care of yourself...hug you tight and wave you goodbye... its then that your heart lurches at the thought of not being able to have your people around ...the thought of not being able to hug my brother..irritate him...gossiping with my mom or laughing with my dad...there....there'll be no friends to call my own...i'll be on my own...all alone...and sure its saddening...but it doesn't scare me....i have faith ...in whatever's ins tore for me...in my people's blessings :)
