(no subject)
So I am in the Amsterdam airport right now. I have like 5 hours before my flight leaves, meaning that I get home in like 12. It is CRAZY and absolutely nerve racking to think that I am coming home. I really really really dont know if I will be able to function in normal society again. My social skills, if I had any when i left for africa, have depleted to a series of nods and murmurs. Let me apologize ahead of time for not being uber warm and excited. I am more than overwhelmed just thinking about it.
I have really been questioning why ANYONE would desire to leave the serene and surreal life that is rampant in Jakana. I really just have to trust that there is more out there for me to experience. I am very excited to see everyone but I wish everyone could go to uganda and see me- super selfish I know but its really not at all. I want everyone to have the same experience I did. I want people to see the beauty in simplicity and even poverty. I must admit that despite my profound experience, i am very excited to have the everyday luxuries (ie- a car, running water, a shower more than once a week, clean drinking water, real food, etc...)
anyway, no need to write anything else, you will all see me tomorrow.
