I find that this is a time in my life where I have to say goodbye a lot. Firstly there are those deaths that I mentioned previously, and then it is the end of my undergraduate career, an end to university life (perhaps), an end to living in Waterloo (perhaps), and end to living with my roomates, etc. My roommate Maki is moving back to Japan on Sunday. I’m not sure how I will react after it sinks in that she is gone, but right now I’m trying to focus on the here and now. I still have a few more days with her.

I used to be one of those people that hated when things ended. Even when I have something I was eating that I liked, I would eat it slowly to savour every piece. I still do that. It drives my sister insane. She’s a scarfer. I don’t know if it is because I have matured or I have had to learn to say goodbye that I deal with it better. I still cry and it still hurts, but I don’t run away from it as much. I really hate saying goodbye though. It sucks. But everything has to come to an end. It’s a part of life, and I know that. But it plauges my heart when I know that there are some people that I may never see again. Those who I care about deeply. It hurts.
