I'm always so apprehensive about meeting new people. But as we sat at the piano, or talking about music, or strumming the guitar, I remember that there really isn't a reason to fear new friendships.
Sure, it could end in more heartache than I would like, but wouldn't I rather know I had a good time with good company than know I wasted my time being lonely? I think so.
Relationships have already been forged in the four days I've known some of these people and I already feel close to them. To think that I have to leave them really makes me sad. Who knew my biggest trial in life would be the ability to love? Some may say that's not a trial, but it really is. To know that you have to leave behind pieces of your heart in far away places to incredible people with the knowledge that you may not get it back, is really sad.
So as I sing at seminary graduation, hike with a team of 4 boys, and attempt at other adventures, I'll keep in mind to make my pieces worth it; to leave them with genuine parts of me, so that when I come back, I can retrieve them from the places they were left.
Watch over the pieces, whoever or wherever I may leave them. I don't make trails like this often.
