thinking about this quote a lot recently

[meitachi]

You get a strange feeling when you’re about to leave a place. Like you’ll not only miss the people you love but you’ll miss the person you are now at this time and this place, because you’ll never be this way ever again. —Azar Nasifi

UNF. Right in the feels. ;___;

But I hate nostalgia, hahaha. So I'm wrestling with how true this is while at the same time trying not to dwell on it to the point of forgetting that, hey, I'm still living and growing.

But there's an absolute wistful truth to this.

Maybe not but the new you will be just as interesting and amazing to get to know,

It's true! You can miss the place, and who you were, but at the same time look forward to what's coming -- in the new place, and for yourself too. At least that's how I'm trying to see it. :)

But we will make the new place ours too! And find a new version of ourselves.

I was looking through LJ for the first time in ages right after I emailed you, and of course I happen to come across this post on my flist. I love this quote. It was something I thought about a lot last year, when I was finishing up grad school and wondering where I would end up - but I also love the sense that you can still move forward and grow into yourself even while thinking of who you were. ♥

"Someone once asked me what I regarded as the three most important requirements for happiness. My answer was: A feeling that you have been honest with yourself and those around you; a feeling that you have done the best you could both in your personal life and in your work; and the ability to love others."
— Eleanor Roosevelt
