Renee used this in her Instagram post: "Why does something suppose to make us feel complete ended up making us feel so empty?" -the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
It's strange how the body responds to changes. Some days we long for change, and other days we desperately grasp onto every form of comfort and familiarity for the slightest prolonging of a certain place or time--serenity finally found and pain waiting to conquer.
I felt this sense of serenity at the last hour sitting at the beach with everybody. This feeling comes from a compilation of memories I've made encountering the pain from the realization of an ending. Because there is sadness in this ending, a longing for these memories, a sense of emptiness and loss in leaving, I can personally conclude that these factors are proof that I've gained something valuable beyond my knowledge.
Time and experiences will never be still, nor how we respond to this fact. Like Robert Frost says, "nothing gold can stay." This experience is over but that's okay, because it was gold.
