Limit
While life can be defined as a line, no one ever said that its function was constant. By all means, I believe life to be one of the most interesting functions out there. Along this function are a series of points that define us. If you take the limit of the function as it approaches these points, it can converge calmly and quietly, or it can gyrate and cause a big fuss before it reaches its destination.
Don’t worry, this entry isn’t a math lesson, but it is worth noting that as the date of my departure approaches, I find that my mind and my life are doing everything in their combined power not to go quietly.
The dreams are probably the worst. They vary from the usual dark and dire presentations to those sadly blissful dreams that stay with you just long enough after you wake to make you regret their construction. The latter are the sort of dreams that present you with a world that is pristine enough to accept, forcing the mind to hold on for just a few moments after waking. Momentarily someone or something desired will be mine just so I can wake up in an empty bed again. This is all a result of growing anxiety that I know will pass, but it’s not much fun in the meantime.
I’m trying to say goodbye to people, but I find that it’s hard to convey the fact that I consider this departure to be a little more definite than most do. While I could be sent packing to the United States after just a year, I have a feeling that my stay will last longer than that. Regardless, I regard this as a new step in my life, it’s just one that I’m having a little trouble adjusting to the concept of. While I’ll expect this convergence to happen, it will not be smooth, and I’m going to miss a lot of people, old and new.
