The Clarification

8:05 AM Paris Time, July 10, In the Charles De Gaulle Airport Train Terminal

After rereading my previous post, written only 3 hours ago, I wanted to edit it, but I don´t think thats it´s fair to revise an emotional upload. As such, there is an important thought I´d like to add.

None of you hav edone anything wrong that I should blame any of you for feeling alon eat any point in time.

I don´t want to ´´conquer being alone´´ because I think everyone is going to leave me alone or because I feel alone in my day-to-day life as a constant. It´s because I foresee other times when it will be practical to avoid feeling alone.

Imagine I get an internship in New Mexico next summer. Or that I choose to go to law school in a city where none of you reside. Or that my career takes me to Fargo. It´s only practical that I should want to hit the ground running even if I feel lonely during the first month of each of these scenarios.

To rephrase, this is not an indictment of you as a person in my life; rather, you make me so warm that being alone is that much colder.

Why have I chosen the Road? To make it through the times when you and your warmth are more than just a phone call away.
