  So, all in all, as my dear friend NC said, "I don't want things to go back to normal. I hate change and yet I love it at the same time. There's no such thing as going back to normal--there's only finding a new kind of normal. And maybe that's good....and maybe not. " I think in my case, it should be good. And yes, I did steal that practically word for word from NC's blog. It just seemed so fitting!
