Saturday: All the Changes
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

Discuss. What changes have you made recently? Good changes? Bad changes? How do you feel about it?
Well, I recently got myself off the mainland for a stint in Hawaii. Really lovely place so far, I gotta say. The beaches are simply amazing. Perfect summer destination. And I don't regret coming here at all.
I do get what the quote's saying, though -- your life ends, in a sense, whenever you make a major change. Me being a city-hopper, I know that more than most. Every time I leave a city, I end my life there. And I can't say it's not sad. I tend to leave behind friends, places, good memories. But I can never kill the wanderlust urge. I gotta keep moving around to be me. At least in this day and age, it's pretty easy to keep in contact with people.
