"you could be happy, and i won't know. you could be happy, i hope you are. you made me happier than i'd been by far."- snow patrol
when i first arrived in the states i was beyond doubtful and terrified. i was scared to meet new people, being in a new territory, and throwing out a different side of me. letting myself open and hoping that the people here would accept me just as well was tough to say the least. i was frightened by the thought of replacing the friends i had known for a decade or more with new ones, but at the same time relieved to find them impossible to replace. i would cry over facebook photos that include everybody else but me and feel like i missed out on a lot of hangouts. after a while, however, everything feels better and before i knew it, i've already been in love with the city and the friends, and soon after that everyone from high school graduated. suddenly here we are, already walking on our separate ways.from time to time i would wax nostalgic with a part of me that longs to remain in front of the rows of gray- blue lockers, skip another boring period to sit in the canteen, waste more time chatting in corridors, and be a mere footstep away from them all. i long for another school event, another free period spent running around the classroom, another graduation, another farewell, another prom, another anything at all. and truth be told, whenever i look back on my past, i always feel sad, though not trapped, because every vivid memory i shared with them was just so perfect, although part of why it was so perfect is because i know, and we all know... we could never, ever, go back.

I have to say, that thing you told about the part and memories, it's true. It's definitely true. It's like you can read my mind and pour it out in sentences! I often think about the past, about my child and teenagehood, and i cry about it. I cry not because my past was bad, in fact, it was so great. That's exactly what makes it ironic. You can never go back. Your words are beautiful.
P.S.:
I'm glad you post again! Looking forward to another post and photos from the states!
Cheers,

that is life, where sometimes we're forced to face good-byes, letting go something that has been a part of our life. but hey, just enjoy everything new, soon we'll get adapted!

again I feel you! When I first came to canada I was like a fish out of water; often times being uncomfortable with new people around me who are pretty much older.. tried to fit in and always scared that I wouldn't be accepted.. more homesick and tears. I've learned to appreciate & cherish every moment, knowing that it'll only happen once...
finally. you're back! ;) i was very happy to finally met you the other day! feels alive!
and btw, i do feel same way too. being in a foreign country, silly new faces you've never met, how you wish you could turn back time for awhile so u can feel the glimpse of happiness when your dear people are around. spending time together in the class, with those class clown throwing jokes in the middle of any lesson.
but baby, life goes on, time ticks and just make the most out of it, because in the end, this moment will be cherished too, in the future. you'll have urself saying "ohh, how i miss my good life in LA." and so on and so on ;)
live your life to the fullest. meet tons of new people and bond! because life's tough and rough, it would be great to have people to hold on.
hang on there dear! i hope i could move to LA anytime soon! next semester prolly!
