the year is winding down.
and i'm ready for life!
joy is in my world!
and i wish it for everyone around me and in my thoughts.
you are all beautiful and wonderful.
These last couple of months have been the biggest. The fastest. By far the best. I've grown the most.
I'm kind of discovering that I'm kind of really great.
This isn't about me putting myself above anyone. I think you're all really great too.
This is about me finally finding the love and confidence and respect for myself that I've never had.
I can do great things, I already have, and I refuse to be left to the side.
I'm starting to feel like I accomplished this year. There are things I would do differently if I did it again, but no regrets. I'm impressed. I'm in disbelief. I cannot believe I've come this far. 9.5 months. 16 days remain.
I've never had such a magnitude of emotion in myself.
Good emotion.
not good, Great.
I feel on top of the world great.
I'm not used to this.
I got an email from rotary back home warning us to be prepared because the first two weeks back are often the hardest of the entire year.
Bullshit.
I don't think thats physically possible.
and talking to Ian, who was in Belgium, from bend, went home 2 months ago for health reasons, told me "going home is like traveling back in time"
This shall be interesting.
I feel like I did it, Its done. It was great. Incredible. I learned what it had to teach me and now I'm ready to go home and start my life and teach the next generation of exchange students.
