Distance. A new word to be added to my list of words I dislike, but this one makes the list for a different reason to the others. The idea of being far away from the familiar sounds so attractive. New adventures, new friendships, new surroundings; it all sounds great.
Then you read the facebook status' of the familiar and the new stuff doesn't seem to make you happy in the moment when you realise that the familiar was fun too! What I'm really saying is that I've missed about three 21st birthday parties and a wedding because I'm on this new adventure right? And the best part is that I get to write a Sociology exam on the day of a friends 21st meaning it's virtually impossible to go to the familiar that day and just hang out...
