You ever have one of those prolonged experiences in your life that absolutely change how you live, think, feel. . . everything? But then, it's over, and everything's instantly and often painfully brought back to the way they were, and you're left to wonder, "was it all just a dream, made up by my own mind?" The mission was like this for me. It was over suddenly, and when I returned home everything was the same. I vivedly remembered the last few weeks before my departure, but everything else was like an unusually epic dream, the details all fuzzy and unclear. Some things about this life are oddly surreal to me, like, for example, the passage of time. Time is just a mortal concept, and maybe it's for that reason that it feels so unnatural to me. I want to live in the moment, halt time's progress during those experiences most cherished and forever remembered. I've caught myself wishing this more often lately than ever before. The moment then ends and the only feeling of consolation is achieved through the hope of things to come. Optimism is much easier when our ultimate destinies are all laid out for us.
I can't really grasp a single, cohesive point right now, I just needed to ramble a bit.

I think i know exactly how you feel.
one other thing. It did happen. It's not a dream, it was real. Don't dissmiss something so real for naught.
Agreed. More real than almost anything in my life.
just enjoy and record! most important. things will always seem hazy (especially the important things) if you don't make a record of it...it is the only thing that helps us to keep our minds when the rest goes to pot! :)
