And It's Hit Me

I've been feeling pretty OK about this whole leaving thing. But yesterday I got the reality smack.

I was with a friend when he turned around and said 'I don't want you to go'. Then he gave me a hug and the tears came. It's because it's the start of my last full week here. My final week.

And now it's getting hard - saying goodbye to schools was bad enough, but now it's time to say goodbye to friends. And that is a billion times harder.

On top of that I've realised that I feel more for someone than I thought. And having to walk away from him is going to be a lot tougher than I had anticipated. Just the thought of it is enough to make me wel up with tears.
