Farewell

Returning after so long left me feeling rather ambivalent. Nostalgia has a peculiar way of reminding us that some moments are destined to remain solely in our memories. A wistful sorrow superimposed upon them. All those happy memories filled me with a profound, inexorable sense of grief and longing for something no longer within reach. A fixed point in time and space that I could never return to. Anchoring myself in the past, grasping at irretrievable moments, was all pointless. I needed closure — to bid farewell to this place and my former self.
