It's rough

Jeff left for America today. I'm sad to see him go, because we had a really great time together. It's also hard because it makes going home seem so real and I'm just not ready yet. I have loved Australia so much and this experience has done so many wonderful things for me. I'm afraid to go back home because I'm worried that I will lose the feeling of being free again. I've been so happy here and I don't want to ever forget the memories I've had. I hate the thought that over time, they will fade. I hate forgetting. I really hope I get a chance to come back some day, although I know it won't be the same.
