AC is definitely magic place. So many words are said about it, an uncountable number. Everything is amazing here. In essence – there is a castle and the sea. You feel like you are in a fairytale. Talented people, not casual teenagers… from all over the world, study here. We learn not only our academics, but also how to live by ourselves, how to communicate with people. We believe, that it will be us, who are creating tomorrow’s world. Unforgettable experiences, international understanding, a huge range of possibilities; the open world, - these are the things we find here.
But lets look at this from the other side. We leave home for two long years; some of us don’t even have possibility to go home for Christmas. Even this word, “home” becomes unknown for us. How can we call a place “home” when we don’t actually live there?! Some think home is not a place, but people. Even like that, we leave our family and friends. We start a new life here, but life at “home” still goes on! And all things that used to be a part of your life disappear. Your best friend breaks up with her boyfriend, and finds a new one - it was without you, your parents make repairs to the kitchen. Again without you. You miss their birthdays, parties, joys and sorrows. With time you stop being a part of their lives. Just like that.
And here, you begin your life, start getting to know people, making new friends. But what is next? At the end of each year you have to be separated. You split all over the world, some of these people you will never see again in your life. Some of them you will know only for a year. People, with whom you live, who become a second family for you. You have to say goodbye to them in May, most of them goodbyes forever. Friendships and falling in love are the most dangerous things that may happen. And as it happens, we are just people, not soulless machines. We cry, we lose to our heart people…
Again and again it happens to us, we get these slaps of separation to our souls. We become stronger and scared of pain we simply don’t let people get closer to us. It is a very simple human wish and reaction of self-protection. We don’t want to feel this pain again, we don’t want to suffer.
В общем на самом деле довольно клишевато, но есть своя правда....
