My favorite part about inhabiting this ever-deteriorating body on this entropy-stricken planet is that every single moment is absolutely precious. This realization has become increasingly clear to me over the past few months. During the months leading up to launch, I became constantly aware of the fact that I'd soon be gone. This awakened my senses of urgency, beauty, and gratitude that I feel towards each new day. Spending our first month in Honduras has heightened and reinforced those feelings: this is an eleven month long trip, and month one is already over! When did that happen?? Like life, this trip is a very unique and precious experience, and I want to savor and make the most out of every little piece of it I get. Something I've learned last month is that disruptions, challenges, and hardships are inevitable; we can either let them ruin our day, or we can turn them into opportunities by realizing that they are moments that we'll never see again.
