I've been home exactly one month now, but it feels much, much longer. I've come back, realizing new and better things about myself, people, and life in general, and it's been difficult to see those who haven't changed at all. And yet paradoxically, it still comforts me a little to encounter the lack thereof to know that it is not concurrent with my own developments. Because then I know it's for myself, and myself alone. And that's a good thing.

But things changed, and that's the way it is."
