I’m not sure if I want to keep the connections with people I’ve met as part of this journey because I eventually want to finish this and move on and get back to where I started. I know that might sound a bit callous or cold or something…but um, that’s just how I’m choosing to deal with it. I try to be fairly practical. I want to get back into my life and my work and give all of the young people I work with a hard time again- with some real attitude!
