What is this season?
I love the people that surround me right now.
And yet...
- I long for the days we spent every day of summer vacation together.
- I miss looking forward to winter break as a time spent with friends.
- I keenly feel the loss of knowing who I'd be sitting with at night church, beach day, or a winter camp cafeteria table. (Or, more accurately, I despise the insecurity in fearing I'll be left to sit alone.)
- I ache for that time when Sunday afternoons and nights were set aside as time to be spent with your "group".
And yet...
There's growth.
I'd rather be
who I am now
alone
than
who I was five years ago
surrounded by people.
