People come and people go. There are very few people I still click with from my childhood or even teenage-hood. It's not how long the relationships last that matters though, it's the experiences and the impression that each individual has left on me, for better or worse. And I, on them. My second year at Concordia has come to a close, and with it many people are leaving my life forever, possibly. I realize this sounds a little dramatic, but it's what seems to happen. I can't help but feel down about this reality.

Despite the fact that people often leave, one amazing friend who I have kept in touch with for over a decade is Taigan Penny. She is currently in Brockville Ontario, attending the St. Lawrence College, enrolled in Musical Theatre. I visited her there last year, and this year Phil came along too. She has an incredible group of friends who are intelligent, talented, genuine and beautiful. Every time I visit I feel as though I could have known these people forever. It saddens me that I see them so rarely, but at the same time they have already inexplicably impacted my life.
