Oh God, the unfinishedness of life. The unsaid, the undone, the imperfect, that something you feel you left behind when you leave a place or a person...
This is a convenient time to confront the imperfection of life. At this point, when I'm leaving one living space and heading to another, I have an opportunity to reflect on everything this place and these people have been to me. I would like to leave at perfect peace with myself and those around me. The more time I've spent with these people in the past few weeks, however, the more complicated I've realized it all really is. Each individual person and my personal relationship to them. All the memories and new one created every moment in similar places. There's no way to say 'goodbye otterbein' - that dones't mean anything. otterbein is a college, it can't cover every diverse moment I've spent in the fragmented times when I've been calling myself a student. There may be a grand wash of sentimentality as I step on the plane. But that does not, will not 'wrap it all up.' and why would I want it to? Why would I want to 'end' one thing and begin another? The only way to do that is to die and be reborn. I will never put this place to rest or understand every moment. It will be a part of me, all of the love, the sweet times, the unresolved bitterness and the confusion - I'll never be able to pin it down because it is so a part of me, and to do so I would have to pin myself down - who wants to live like that? What about the grand (and not so grand, rather fucking pissish at times) mystery of life? So I don't feel resolved or at peace. Good! Or even better, just... OK. That's life.
If we were finished beings, if we didn't carry these unanswerable questions around in us our whole lives, whether about an unsatisfactory conversation in bed or the purpose of life, everything that makes us human would be... not. How boring would that be?
I love you, Me- and all of your imperfections. or at least most of them.
My friend says that I have an issue with accepting life as it is. I think we all do, to a degree, but... i do. To self: Stop trying to warp things into something 'better'. Moments, especially. what it is is more than enough.

People, wondering, conversations – truth through acceptance, truth is acceptance, there is no truth without acceptance. Move out of denial and into acceptance. Whatever love is can be founding in either – it’s all in your head, but as far as what ends up affecting the other person, it must come out of acceptance. Of self, of other, of the air around us, and if that’s not enough, of the fact that full acceptance is unattainable.
