I the Interloper
I feel like I once belonged… but now even that sensation has left me. The world widens before me as I leave the bay known as college and I cannot hope to see the far side of this great expanse. The once familiar halls and haunts of a former way of life laugh devilishly at my new found floundering. I seek haven in my ancient faith drawing fresh water from its current. I am not alone but my comrades often seem distant and difficult, working their own sails. We are all strangers here, of a singular yet nameless lineage. I am one of them. My colors fly high. I the alien, the intruder, the interloper.

so basically that was an over-dramatic (but beautiful) way of saying. "I'm old".
I feel ya bro.

No, not old. Never old! Just in a new milieu! This is the rest of your life! The life you've prepared for, the life you'll be living for much longer than the previous one. God will do much more than you ever hoped or imagined. You will never be old while you are flourishing in the nourishment of God's will. Enjoy. Reconnect with people in new ways. Relish the contrast between solitude and fellowship. Define yourself as God does, unique and essential to His plans.
