it’s G O O D to be coming H O M E
I have said in a previous blog; an unsaid expectation is an unrealistic expectation. In that I have no idea what life in America is going to look like and in all honesty, I am quite nervous. Nervous about going back to the land of luxury and sinking back into a comfortable lifestyle, quickly taking for granted the little things. That who I have become will not fit the expectations of those I am returning home to. I can’t express how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to live this year challenging the status quo and seeing and experiencing so much. I don’t want to come home just to be engulfed in individualism, selfishness, and materialism acting as all the things I have seen didn’t effect or hurt and grow me.
Flash point! If you have any house sitting, babysitting, etc. I would be insanely grateful or if you know of anyone that would be awesome! Contact me!! I don’t have a phone for now but will be working on it sometime after I get home. I understand that reaching me may be hard but that’s what this blog, Facebook or my email is great for, or you can even try calling my family’s house.
Straight up: I cannot read your mind, if you want to spend time with me, please reach out, these eleven months have been too filled to be summed up in answering “how was it??” as I imagine so did the eleven months you lived. I know that I have been away for a year but please reach out, include me ask me all the questions!! If you wouldn’t mind coming up with some deeper questions I promise we will find it easier, but either way I’ll be excited to talk to you and answer any questions you may have! I’ll make time I may not be as busy as you think I love you all and I can’t even contain my excitement to see the familiar mountains that I call home but if I say that I need to sit something out or just am not feeling up to it I’m not saying I don’t want to spend time with you. I am simply just saying that transitioning home will be overwhelming at time so please be patient.
Important!! Don’t be intimidated or think that I have become some amazing righteous person and that because I have had this amazing opportunity to travel that it was my doing. It is not because of me that I got to travel this year but a huge blessing from y’all supporting me and a gift from the Lord. Understand that I am insanely joyful to be coming home to a place that is familiar but I will also have moments of longing for a new “familiar” that is defined with sitting on the floor, trying strange new foods, and the desire to be in a place I have never seen before. I am still the same dorky, immature at times, silly girl who is just trying to grow and be a better person. I am still the same person yet entirely different at the same time which I am aware you all might be as well, I simply have grown in a different way. I haven’t become superior to any of you nor am I going to be bored just chilling and hanging out.
!FINALLY! If you got this far then you must really love me in that if you would love to gift me with a coming home present I would love to receive Starbucks gift cards to support my white girl addiction that I haven’t had all year and have no spending money to blow on coffee! Would love to also go to coffee with y’all I enjoy going on walks drinkin tea and such.
