Met up with Josephine this morning to collect some stuff that was still with her that I had to get back; Greenday's Dookie album and Junsiang's macro textbook. I went without knowing what to expect, worrying it would be awkward, but the way our conversation went, it felt so much like the beginning, when we were starting to go out, and I had to keep reminding myself of what had come to pass, so I would not run the danger of having those feelings come back, but those were some wonderful times we had together, and I guess that was why, when she said " You will love New Zealand!" she said it like she knew me well. We did know each other well, well enough to know our paths had to split.

I think back to the ending scene of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, when Joe Barish and Clementine, even after they realise how different they are, how inherently incompatible they are with each other, decide to give it another shot and I wonder how it would be, in my real life. It had to come, as much as I tried to fight it, this nostalgia induced emo.
