As the zman comes to a close people start to leave. It's a weird feeling to practically live with people for 6 months and then see them disappear from your life. After my roomate got married last week he moved out and the room didn't feel the same. Today one of my friends left the yeshiva to start medical school in NY and the yeshiva doesn't feel the same. It was so sad to see him leave a place that he loved, especially since he didn't want to go. He was planning on spending another year here but he would have needed to re-apply to medical school if he stayed. Talking with people after he left, we all realized that this yeshiva would never be the same.
I guess that people come in and out of your life and you just need to deal with it. I have had the pleasure of being friends with the same group of people all of my life, one since I was less than a day old. I guess I have never truly realized until now that I will never see my close friends like I used to. People move throughout life on different paths and in different ways, they have different hobbies and live in different places. It's a big world out there with many exciting things to do, so people end up in different places.
I guess what I am trying to say is that I wish I could live with all my family and friends in one place forever. But life doesn't work out that way. I have friends who are moving to California to start careers in the movie industry or to go to broadcasting school. I have friends who are moving to Baltimore to learn. I have more friends who are moving to New York to either work, go to grad school, or yeshiva. I even have some friends who will stay or move to Israel. I hope we can always keep in touch. So many people have impacted my life these last 21.5 years and it would be a shame to see them dissapear from my life. Whether I have known them since the day I was born or just met them these last 6 months, it is my hope that somehow, someway, we will always have each other.
