Mostly, It's Gooey.

It's gooey.
It remembers.
It misses.
Mostly, it's gooey.

It's gooey, because remnants remain.
It sticks.
I can't go back to how things were.
It's changed me.

Nostalgia. Good 'ole and always accurate Wikipedia tells me that it describes a sentimentality for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.  Sounds fairly accurate to me. In fact, it might even be a spot on assessment of my life at the moment.

Memories.
Hugs.
Planned last hang-outs.
Forced, See you later!'s

See you later South Bend. See you later Bethel College. See you later Keller Park. See you later to this place that has changed my life. That has been with me on this journey of self-discovery and growth. See you later to the best friends and mentors anyone could ever have (not an over-statement). To those who know exactly how put a smile on my face or tell a joke that literally knocks me off my feet. To those who have stood by my side and put up with tears and heartbreak. To those who have pushed me forward and have welcomed my presence and addition into their lives. God is the One who goes with me and at the same time remains where I've been. All these places and people that have shaped me, moved me, and blessed me have been His gifts. Abba, thank You. The way You love me. I believe that You don't waste anything.

The Lord is my rock. He is my right now and always.
And to everything and everyone else, it's see you later.
