Goodbyes...

I suck at goodbyes.

There, I said it. I'm the absolute worst. I don't know how to give them, I don't know how to receive them. I always have that mooshy warm fuzzy when it's time to leave, but usually, I'm good enough to distance myself from the moment and make myself believe that I will indeed see that person very soon in the near future. But honestly....I'm awful with goodbyes.

It's for this precise reason that I really wanted to detach myself at Kingston this year. I came in here with the mindset of not seeking to meet new friends but instead, nurturing the relationships I already had. Well, as God would have it, the people here are so darned awesome and my selfish plan ultimately failed.

I’ve met some of the most amazing people here and built some awesome relationships over my past 8 months here. And now, I’m kind of paying the price as the last month and a half has been slow painful goodbyes. The past couple days have been especially tough, perpetuated by numerous sleepovers, videos and long talks. I don’t remember the last time I actually experienced this amount of sadness saying goodbye to someone.

I haven’t blogged much since being in Kingston. Perhaps I’ve grown out of it a bit or perhaps I’ve just been too busy and preoccupied with everything to constantly maintain and upkeep this site. Consequently, I’m sure not many Kingston people read this. But if you are and you’re someone who has enriched my life this year, in any big and small way, then thank you for making my year memorable in so many ways.

No farewell my friends, only ‘see you later’. Till then, may you be blessed immensely.
