Post 5-Weeks; The Aftermath.
August 28th, 2006 | by john |A bit over five weeks ago, I was about 50% excited about going up to NYC and the other 50% dreading it. It was difficult for me to think that I finally got accustomed to my first full-time job but now I needed to temporarily settle down in another location for something totally different. I can’t say I knew what to expect.
Yet here I am, five weeks later, I keep thinking of all the fun I’ve had and all I’ve learned. While I don’t believe in the idea of fate, I can’t help but think that I was meant to be there at those times. As if all the choices that I’ve made in my life has led me to this point and my experience there was simply a confirmation. Tell me, is it too weird to think that?
It didn’t have to be NYC. I honestly think it could have been anywhere and anytime. It was the people. However crazy this may sound, even though at first they were complete strangers, I felt an affinity with a lot of the people I’ve met there after the first week. And it only took a week.
They are all coming down to Charlotte in a few months; however, I am not naive enough to say that we’ll all keep in touch afterwards. I know we won’t. I will certainly try to keep in touch with everyone but I know I am not very good at it.
Thanks.
