My Finale

And so my first post begins with some reminiscing. Being the sentimental sort, I had managed to tactfully escape indulgence in any emotion regarding my past 4 years at Queen's. I resorted to the activities that guaranteed distraction without fail: reading, going out with friends, eating, and shamelessly succumbing to my curiosity and watching that last episode of Scrubs.

Amidst these, what I like to call, "normal" attempts at living without thinking, haha, all it took was one comment from JD to take me back:

Endings are never easy. I always build them so much in my head…and I just end up disappointed. I guess it’s because that we always believe that what we do is important, that people hang on to our every word, that they care what we think. The truth is, you should consider yourself lucky if you even occasionally get to make someone, anyone, feel a little better. After that, it’s all about the people you let into your life. -JD, Scrubs Season 8

He had a point there, and I have to admit, very few people have been let in. For those (yes, friends, those are you :) ) who made the effort, and tried pounding against that crazy wall that is me, thanks. Those times we shared will be remembered for a lifetime. Or until I start forgetting those keys.
