I've always enjoyed capturing beautiful moments. You know when all of a sudden you feel this complete sense of peace and you feel more alive. As cliche as that may sound, being in the momment makes the cliche so real. Today I'm sitting in my room, which is a constant organised mess, alternating between the Jane Austen Book Club movie, and Death Cab for Cutie. And the song that I'm listening to just strikes a chord. Such a beautiful introduction, perfect for the room that I am in, where my curtains are a little drawn, such that everything looks a little bit old. Kind of like a scene out of the movie I'm watching. The song sounds like breathing. In, out, in, out. I think about the people I've met recently. It's weird because over these four weeks I've forged some unlikely friendships. And as much as I've always told Bianca that I don't really want to make new friends because I've already found such great ones, I can't help but feel truly blessed for the new friends that I have. In the grand scheme of things, our lives intercepted for four weeks. And as much as that seems so insignificant, I'd just like to say that it isn't. And as much as these intersects come and go, I truly believe that they were there for a reason. And in some small way or another, actually define the person that I go on becoming. For all those other people who have come and gone in my life so briefly, who have become blurred faces and blurred names, I'd like to say that you have made a difference. Especially as I begin to leave this place behind, and move to somewhere completely new, I'm trying to deal with the fact that I'm never going to forget you. And even as names blur, the feeling that you gave me, in the beautiful momments that we spent together. I think I won't forget the feeling. The complete sense of peace.
