There's a scene in the movie Lilo and Stitch where Stitch and his new family are playing on the beach. He watches while Nani and David build this huge elaborate sandcastle around Lilo, and he obviously wants to be take part and feel doted on the way Lilo is. So he plops down and shovels a pile of sand onto his own legs in an imitation of the sandcastle they built for her. But after a few moments of sitting in the sand alone, he figures out that there's no point so he gets up and wanders away.Sometimes I feel a little like Stitch. And by 'sometimes' I mean 'right now,' but it's a pretty frequent thing as of late anyway. And by 'a little' I mean 'a lot.' Except that with Stitch it's cute because he's blue and fluffy. And instead of a sandcastle it was more of a snow castle.
I'm kind of kicking myself for not moving out when I had the chance. The third floor just isn't far enough away for me not to notice that my nearest and dearest friends have replaced me and moved on.
