Feeling like a ghost

The Idea

Have you ever walked into a room and felt like you shouldn’t be there? Like you are entirely invisible? I often feel that when I know that one part of my life is coming to an end. How can we truly immerse ourselves in a life, in a situation or a group, when we know that in a matter of days, minutes or hours, we will be leaving? Knowing that you’re about to move overseas, or change universities, or graduate from your high school, and that you will never be in the same place emotionally or physically again is such a strange feeling. How can we connect with those around us when we feel like we’re preparing to grieve our own life? Coming back to Australia after 6 months in England felt like the most isolating thing in the world, it feels like no one understands you. Surrounded by people, but completely alone. When everyone else’s lives continue but yours seems frozen in time, how do you stop feeling so alone?
