Highs and Lows


Lonely Rowboat in Digby, NS
Originally uploaded by wjklos.
Well I have now been away for 11 days and Ihave had some highs and lows.

Most days have been good or even great. But sometimes in the day I just suddenly feel lonely! I do not have any of my friends or family around to share these experiences with, something that I love to do.

It has been a real test of myself so far, I am so used to havign people around me that not having them feels so alien. In some ways I do not feel myself. It is also good as I feel that you have to find your feet as your complete self, also it is helping me to share how I feel more when I speak to them, no that is really alien to me!

I just hope that the coming months become easier and that they help me to grow.

Yeah it'll get easier, the first bit away is always the hardest, don't mean you can't have a great time.

Finding your feet as your complete self? Some would say we are only complete in community with others not alone. Certainly the way some cultures in the world feel, us westerners are strange.

Again, Sorry if I made you're time a little sadder. Bash me up when you get home innit.

I'm the one who took that picture of the rowboat in Digby, NS attached to this entry - and those were my exact feelings when I took it.
