so i officially left for spain one year ago from this exact date. i can't really place a name on what i'm feeling right now. it's a very bittersweet emotion. i am still beyond sad about it, but i am finally arriving to a place where i can look back at the memories and feel a sense of happiness.
i can't even fathom how fast time has gone this year. it seems like yesterday that i met Dara in JFK airport and we began our journey together. i can remember everything i did that day so clearly. i dread the day when my memories become blurry and when i begin to question key aspects of my experience in spain. i really did not want to cry today but i did already this morning. i feel like the quicker time passes, the more the whole situation becomes a distant memory, fading into the past. it scares me and i don't know why. it's very difficult to keep my friendships and relationships from spain alive and as time moves forward it only gets harder. as sad as that makes me, i have to try to celebrate this day and my entire abroad experience. i must be grateful for it.
happy anniversary everyone.
os echo de menos...tenemos que recordar que somos alicantinos- borrachos y finos! <3
