'Ello July

So much changes in the course of a year, so very, very much.

At the start of another July, I'm going to yet again be headed onto a plane for the Fourth of July weekend, but this time my world is starkly different. It's still going to be completely enjoyable - of this I have no doubt - just indescribably different.

I think back on all the people and friends I've gained, all the ones I've lost touch with, all the ones that have severed contact for one reason or another. It's all pretty overwhelming along with all these thoughts of work and stress floating around in the sea with them. Perhaps the Pacific will affect me in a similar fashion as its sister.
