People and Places

I believe we are meant to depart from both places and people. It can often be hard to depart from both, especially the people we love or want to love in our lives. We can feel guilty for shutting out family and friends who are ultimately not good for us. This summer, as I spend time alone and talk with others (I can talk to others), I learn more that I have shut myself off and rely only on myself. Perhaps there will be too many painful departures to endure what ultimately will always be another one. Are we protecting ourselves from the eminent departure or missing the temporary joy?

Peace and Love,
