Ok ok, so it's going to be one of THOSE posts. Yes, the introspective possibly mushy posts that we all love and secretly read most days when we're not feeling so inspired in our own lives. Yeah. There I go.
The summer is winding down and fall is already screaming it's way over our bay in the form of crazy winds and a heat wave that is scorching the mainland. Or so I hear from reputable sources who are on their way to distant lands to save the world. Or at least some electricity. Anyways, with this new development I face yet another of the challenges of living on this island, and that's the changing of the guard in terms of staff.
The people I've been working with this summer have been moving in and out so I'm a bit used to that by now but it's going to be a big change next week when MSA takes over the site and sets up shop to run their own program. I'm a little worried about how this weekend is going to work out with me losing yet another set of friends that I've become attached to. If today was any indication of how it's going to go then I'm going to be a wreck.
But then again such is the life that I have chosen for myself. Island life is hard. The friendships you make all feel a little temporary, there's a worry that I'll never see some of these people again. There are some that I am more attached to, and hopefully I can keep in touch with those. But it's not a fun thing to put people on a boat and watch them sail out of your life and not know when they're going to come back. It's been a bit of a theme at some points in my life to watch people go. I can't complain though because I love what I'm doing.
Maybe it's the change of the season that has my hyper-aware of what's going in my life. How I won't be going back to school this fall and how the friends I've made here will mostly be gone in a few days. And those who are already off to new adventures how I really miss them dearly. The price that you pay for living a dream.
