a conversation between me and an old university mate

me: you know what? i don't miss our university. and yes, i mean it. i really do. i long no more for the time i was there. all right, it was fun and all, and i still have good friends there. but i don't miss it.

him (incredulous): you serious? how come? has anything happened?

me: yes, and no. you see, i closed the cycle. i went there, had my four years there. and it's over now.

him: okay, but that doesn't mean you do not get involved with that world any more.

me: for me it does. there is nothing left binding me to the place. friends? i need no university to meet them. besides, i've had my time there, now it's time to move forward and give the new ones a chance. it's their world, not mine any more.

him: i see your point, but there was no need for cutting it so deep.

me: actually i needed to. it's a brand new world, here in the ouside. the university was a cycle of my life, and now it's closed. definetely closed.

him: i don't think i could do it. or that i wanted to.

me: well, i can and i want.
