this gift is my curse for now

i have a feeling that nothing is ever going to be the same after london ... both in a good and a bad way. it's going to be so, well, weird having to integrate my london life back into my ND life back into my home life ... next semester is going to be an interesting one.

i've met so many people that, in normal circumstances, i never would have even thought twice about talking to, just because i already had my friends and i didn't have to. i've made friends with an awesome group of guys, which i have seriously missed SO much because almost all of my ND friends are girls. which is fine, but it's just ... different.

i've met three people who, if we had all met at the same time at the beginning of freshman year, would seriously be my best friends. we're already so close and we've known each other for a little over a month ... seriously, sometimes i think my favorite part of london is the people. i absolutely love these kids and am so glad we became friends.

i have discovered that i'm a city girl at heart. it's something i've always known but haven't been able to prove; but i absolutely LOVE living in a city. there's just something about walking down the street knowing exactly where you're going, hopping on and off public transportation, people watching, wandering down random tiny streets, the food, the sights, the history-- i am in my element. i have so much to write about and so little time, or space, or ink ... this city inspires me to be independent, to be me, to do what i know i was born to do.

oh london town. one day i will have to leave you, but you will never leave me.
