See you soon, sweetheart.
May. 27th, 2010 07:15 amWell, it's 7:07am on Thursday May 27th 2010 and Jei's gone home for the summer. I kissed her goodbye and listened to the rickety rolling of her suitcase trundle as she dragged it down the hall and out of the apartment doors, and now she's gone. I know it's not forever, but 9 weeks - more than two months - feels like an eternity stretching ahead of me without her laughter and her smile and all the things we share here together. Without her, this place is just a house, not a home. I have to remember that before she came here in 2008, we were lucky to spend more than a couple of weeks together in a year. For almost a decade, we were separated by an ocean and almost 4,000 miles. Having lived with her for almost two years now, I've been spoiled rotten. But I've never lived on my own before. I always at least had my mum and my cat to fall back on when Jei and I were apart. I'll adjust and get used to it, I suppose. Right now I just feel a little numb and tears are threatening to spill. But I've been lucky. I am lucky.
Have a great flight, Jei-ji, and give all my love to your wonderful family. Be sure to let me know that you got home safely. I love you and I am SO very proud of you.

Living on my own has taught me that it's rough. It can get to a person, but one has to remember that they aren't really alone. You've got us - your friends - and we're around if you need us.
The advice that I can give you now is to keep busy. Games, books, even taking a walk may help cope with it. The walks that I take now are incredible and it leaves me with a sense of peace : I'm not alone..
It's hard to cope and get used to it at first, but remember that you'll see her again soon.
