The other day I was daydreaming or something, or just went very emotional over everybody leaving Boston soon to new horizons. I was thinking of Ana going to Mexico, Sean to Ghana, Eimear and the other Irish to Ireland, Guillaume and Murielle to London, Victor and Vincent and all the frenchies elsewhere in Europe, Steffen and Andy leaving as well. Pretty much I was thinking that as much as Northeastern brought us together, we are bound to go to different countries because well none of us really can stay here easily or have different opportunities in different regions in the world.
I personally as you might all know already want to stay here because I feel I haven't spent enough time discovering what Boston can bring me and because let's face it I kinda like it here, in spite of the rain and the snow, the wind and the lack of sun. Boston is an amazing city, those 2 years were amazing and I see no reason why I should stop it all of a sudden.
So I was thinking about that and posted as my Facebook status: I wish we could create a country for all of us to stay in together.
I know it's impossible, and as far as I have some pretty crazy ideas sometimes, I won't tell you that I am about to create a new country. I just allowed myself to meditate and think about that. Think about what this country would look like. No immigration law forcing us to leave, no language barrier that we can face. Don't start me on technical stuff such as jobs and stuff, I don't want to think about it right now and I don't want you to think about it either.
This is an exercise I am giving you, an assignment (pretty cool now that we are done with finals), just allow yourself to think back and relax, meditate and lead your mind to dreaming. Write it down, share it with me, share it with us. It won't hurt, we know it's not possible, but to me in the midst of asking myself questions and wondering what my future will be, I have to tell you those were pretty good vacations my mind took for 30 minutes. I love you all so I want you to experience that as well. Don't be afraid, just do it.
If any songs or painting or drawing come out of it with you my artsy friends, please let me know and I'll share the lyrics here and the images on Flickr.
Yours truly,
