Even months later, having experienced much more than I ever have before, I am more lost than ever. Today, I come back from class and I look in the mirror and I'm like, who the hell am I? And it's not alarming, at least not at the moment. I can laugh about it with the people I've met who seem to feel the same way about themselves. It's just strange.
I guess the main thing I've gained from this experience is the knowledge that we depend on each other to understand ourselves. No man is an island. And when I think about all the amazing people in my life who have helped to make me who I am (whoever that is!), I am very, very grateful for that.
