No Me Gustav

This is so fucking frustrating.
I'm finally getting settled into New Orleans.
And. I love it here. Lovelovelove.
I have made some amazing friends already.
I adore the girls on my floor.
And. My RA is so amazing and laidback.
My classes are great, the campus is gorgeous.
And then a fucking hurricane had to come.
Today, Friday, August 29th is the 3 year anniversary of Katrina.
People are flipping shit.
Mandatory evacuations are being put into effect.
I don't want to leave.
Now, don't get me wrong.
It's not that I don't miss my family (I do, I really do).
Or that I don't miss my friends.
But the thing is.
It's probably good for me to take a break from them.
More specifically, my friends.
As much as I love my best friends, I feel like things have changed.
Like, maybe I've changed. Maybe they have.
Sometimes, I think you have to take a break from people (Hmm, that sounds familiar. Except it's the other way around now.) to figure out if they're good for you.
I don't mean that they're 'bad' people.
Just, that maybe, it's good if I make new friends.
Because let's face it. People change.
Things happen that can't be controlled.
What's surprising to me is who I miss the most from Gulf Shores.
I miss two friends more than any others.
But. Probably not who most people would think.
I don't know what it means, per se.

I guess only time will tell.
Life is throwing curve balls at me.
And. Quite frankly, I love it.
