So what happens now?

I am lonely in anticipation of feeling lonely next year.

The world changes a bit next year. I start full time work and will make new friends. I’m not worried about making friends; it’s losing old ones that makes me sad in anticipation of being sad.

Next year, two of my closest friends are going overseas for a long time. Kate will be working elsewhere. My other close friends are still at university, living in the uni world while I’m acclimatising to the working adult world. I find this much scarier than going from high school to university.

So what happens now?

Where am I going to?

(You’ll get by, you always have before)

Where am I going to?

I will be very busy next year — working, hip hop, tutoring… Maybe I’ll be too busy to feel any lack.

My friends, grab hold, don’t let me go.

The tide of life will always flow,

But keep me near, I need your will.

I’ve you-shaped holes only you can fill.

If I seem to look through you,

Too focused on all things bright and new,

If I claim I’m never free,

Please do not give up on me.

Remind me that you are still there.

Give me thoughts to show you care.

Help me make this not the end.

I need to be worthy friend.

Well, that’s enough moroseness for now.
