My Epiphany

One of those rare, frustrating mornings where I simply couldn't fall asleep on the train until I nearly missed getting off at my stop.

My mind wouldn't take a break. I started wondering whether it'd be a good idea to date a student. Whether she'd understand what I was going through at work. Whether she'd be able to help me through it.

Then I thought about Luis and Sharon, and wondered how Luis is able to help Sharon through whatever she faces at work.

Then I thought about the fellowship split-up, the whole "we're not students anymore" bunch of crap.

And then I realized... that maybe... just maybe... I was so opposed to the fellowship split-up because it reminded me of my own breakup.
