Farewell Doesn't Mean Forever

Aug 26, 2009 11:17

Well, I'm leaving today. Trudging down to the airport by myself to get on a dreaded 20-hour journey home is not the way I'd choose to leave, but it's the only option I have.

The last two years of my life have been an unforgettable life experience. It hasn't always been good (it certainly hasn't alway been good,) but I would change a moment of it. Really, I wouldn't. I feel pretty satisfied about the way I handled things and don't think I could do any better even if I could go back and relive some of that time.

I don't have a lot of time to reflect, so I'll just repeat what I put in my FB status:

Japan,it's been real. I've loved you, I've hated you; You've perplexed me,you've amazed me. It's hard to leave when I just want out. These have been two of the most unforgettable years of my life.

Thanks to everyone I've met who have helped me during this journey. I've made some wonderful friends from all over the world and I hope we can stay friends even if great distances separate us. I feel blessed to have known you all.

So! Enough with the cheesy stuff! See you all on the other side--in the land of cheese, turkey, and whole-grain bread!

kochi, friends, japan, jet
