i actually did dream about them all last night though!!

and actually, i've found that real life has now lost a certain flair it had pre-cruise

Book another one, or just try to convince your parents- it is the only real thing that will help!

Make sure you keep in contact with the people you met...that always helps. The only real cure is to plan and book another though. Hopefully, that is an option. If not, you just have to wait a few months.

keep talkin to the people you met on the cruise. mabe you will meet up with one of them.

Well, I feel like a freak posting online about how much I miss my cruise but I honestly don't know how else to deal with it. I met SO many amazing people and discovered so much about myself by going on this cruise. It was like an out-of-body experience (or along those lines) and I can't stop texting all my friends I made on the ship and video chatting with them and talking about the cruise. It's been officially two weeks since I got on the ship and one week since I came back. F MY LIFE!!! Life is so dumb in the town i live in. the worst part is my three guy friends that i made live so close to each other and hang out now. and i cant go. and my mom is not even sure she's gonna let me go to a concert with them like i want to. like honestly it was the best experience of my life. i fell in love with this boy and it felt like such a complicated love story becuase there was another guy i was originally interested in on the boat and same with him with another girl and we spent the entire cruise wanting to make a move on each other but being unsure of it. now i just miss my cruise and there is no cure to this. nothing feels okay....at all. my life is so pointless now that i have nothing to look forward to and remembering only hurts. i can book another cruise, sure: but it would be with different people and my parents dont even want to. ugh why cant cruises last two weeks then i would just be getting off now. UGH.
