I saw this on Shani's blog on my newsfeed so I decided to do it too!

THE RUNE OF ST. PATRICK
At Tara today in this fateful hour
I place all Heaven with its power,
And the sun with its brightness,
And the snow with its whiteness,
And fire with all the strength it hath,
And lightning with its rapid wrath,
And the winds with their swiftness along their path,
And the sea with its deepness,
And the rocks with their steepness,
And the earth with its starkness
All these I place,
By God's almighty help and grace,
Between myself and the powers of darkness.

I have noticed something quite... odd, during the last few years. It has always seemed to be that certain friendships are made from convenience, no matter how hard we try to deny it. Sometimes, friends become friends merely to use each other, much like leeches suck the blood of their hosts. Sometimes, it's a one way relationship, and at other times, it becomes a sort of symbiosis. Sadly, the superficiality of the friendship only rises up after need has disappeared.

However, the main point of this post is not to debate the finer points of friendships but rather to set a warning, an alarm if you will. Lately, I have begun to notice that especially in University and post-secondary education, there is a high population of these human leeches. In a frantic, fast-paced world, the easiest way to get something is to take it. And thus, we have evolved, or adapted, to using each other. So, my warning is not to avoid these people, but not to become one yourself. Much worth is put on friendships, and thus the higher two people fly together, the harder it is when they fall.

It's one sad thing to lose a friend you never really had, but it's much sadder to abandon someone who believed in you.

I find life to be as amusing and short-lived as a stone skipping across a pond. We do, of course, have our ups and downs, as does the stone, before sinking into that dark abyss. And like stones, each person differs in the way they skip through life. Some people succumb quickly and sink, while others may bounce back up and continue for quite a long while. What I do find strange, however, is the fact that as more stones sink, it is easier for future stones to go farther, as they merely bounce off of previous stones. And eventually, the whole body of water is filled with stones, which reflects how humans have a strange tendency... to support themselves on the fallen. The number of people who succeed is proportional to the number of those that fail. So for every success that comes to you in your life... remember someone fell to guarantee you that happiness.

They came for the Jews.
I was silent. I am not a Jew.

They came for the Communists.
I was silent. I am not a Communist.

They came for the Unionists.
I was silent. I am not a Unionist.

They came for me.
Everyone was silent.

So. I leave tomorrow.

And when I start a new phase of my life, I end an old one, and because I'll be changing, and the world will be changing, I'd like to thank all of you people, whether you were friend or my enemy, for making me who I am.

And on top of that, I'd wish that we'd see each other again, but the likelihood is that half of you have probably forgotten me already.

The world is going to be a scary place, but if you can smile, then life will seem easier. If you are happy... you should smile. Don't go through life being a robot... live a little. Wake up and go to sleep feeling good about yourself. Don't let your life descend into monotony.

Remember that someone out there cares.
