Going on exchange is like watching night fall.
In the beginning, you’re watching a sunset. Too many
beautiful new colors and sensations flood you and overwhelm you completely,
leaving you with feelings of confusion, awe, and contentment.
It is all too brief, for darkness soon falls. You don’t
recognize anything around you. You feel so lost and very, very alone. The
loneliness hurts in ways you never thought it could because you are scared that
no one is there for you in the blackness. You fear that nothing good can come
out of this darkness.
Then, suddenly, one by one, the stars come out. At first,
you barely notice them, but suddenly you look around to find that the inky
black has burst into a shower of diamonds around you. Out of the midnight blue,
the darkness never seemed so bright. You can see this world in a new, beautiful
way by starlight.
As soon as your eyes adjust, as soon as you can fully
appreciate it, the sun begins to rise. Soon, it will all be over.
Jee le zaraa.
