To be honest I think things from home are starting to fade for me. When people ask if all we eat in the USA is hamburgers I say no then can’t remember what else we eat. Then sometimes I can’t believe that we do things differentially in the like not carrying around apples and oranges for a snack. I can’t believe I use to drink water straight from the tap and that our cups are so big. It’s the little things that I’m use to now. I’m pretty sure I’ll be surprised when I go home…
This week’s goal is to update my blog about my adventures because I’ve been doing some cool stuff. This blog however will just be me saying I’ve come this far and have had the most confusing, fun, learning experience of my life so I think I will be okay with staying the rest of the year. I’ve missed the first campout in 18 years, I’m about to miss my little brothers 13th birthday, I’ve missed my cousin coming home from rehab in Georgia and… I’ve accepted it. Skype and Facebook help keep me in the loop and I’ll be back for the next 18 years with a new language in my pocket so the hardship will be well worth it. I’ll leave you with this:
Do the hard.
Smile a lot.
Don’t be afraid to mess up.
If you don’t at least try,
You will have never done.
It’s okay to cry.
As long as you pick yourself up and move on.
Make a scary situation fun by smiling and calling it an adventure.
Love people.
Even if they are different.
Love yourself.
Even if you have changed.
Thank you everyone for reading and understanding! Mom your my accountability partner, If I haven’t posted about my adventures… well I don’t I know what you can do to me countries away but do something to make me!
