After a long and fantastic weekend, I find myself back in the quiet of my apartment again. It's so strange how I fluctuate between loving my life and the things I get to do here and really aching for relationships and friends. Tomorrow is Tuesday though and I will go to school and hopefully fluctuate away from loneliness. One of the hardest things for me is to be quiet and alone in my room.
"All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone." - Blaise Pascal
I will counter that with another quote that rings particularly true to me:
"Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with one another." - Thomas Merton

"...but when pain is over the remembrance of it often becomes a pleasure. One does not love a place the less for having suffered in it, unless it has all been suffering, nothing but suffering, which was by no means the case..."
I read this quote last night and it reminded me of you. Then today I was reading your blog and remarked to Carl that you love Spain and hate Spain and love Spain...etc.
But I do not think you hate Spain at all. Nonetheless, there are things you will cherish about coming home.
