In my perspective, I've done well dealing with being apart all this time...But can you imagine? To let me be with you 24/7 for those few weeks, then to strip it all away from me again - what am I to do? To program myself to adapt to a life without you there all over again?? I'm very excited nonetheless. I have big plans. I intend to visit the beautiful friends I made the summer I was there. Aga from Poland is living a dream in Spain with her boyfriend. Fatmanur will be in I...
