It's kind of hard to believe that I'll be flying into Auckland in about 3 weeks. It's only kind of hard to believe because I've suddenly realised how small this world is. If you've got the time, money and/or connections, you can see the world quite easily. And you can share it with a most beloved sister.

The world, for me, equals people. Connections. Webbing.

I'm excited to see my old friends, but would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. We've all changed and have been through heaps of new experiences. People have gotten married, have moved, have traveled, have taken up different beliefs. Things are different. To be honest, I don't much like peripheral change. Or rather, I don't much like people leaving. It's selfish really, I understand.

I don't like that Johnny and Dani relocated. Or that Micaela is leaving for a year. Or that Michael switched jobs and moved out of state. But I also don't like that my parents won't go on vacation.

It's irritating needing to be flexible and roll with the punches.

Can't life be easy? Stagnant? Death-like?
