Hey America,
I’m sorry, but I have to end this thing with you. It’s not you, it’s me. I’ve changed and I’ve found another. When I left you at the beginning of this year, you probably thought I would come back. However, I’ve seen some amazing places and met some incredible people. I’ve experienced such growth and freedom away from you. I don’t think I can come back and live in the box of expectations you’ve built for me. The shallow, glittering life you’ve offered me is no longer enough. Although this may seem sudden, I’ve realized that my heart has known for a while that we weren’t made for each other, at least not for now.
I was made for the mountains and villages. I was made to speak a tongue that is not my own, or try to at least. The people I’ve met here have impacted my heart in a way I wasn’t expecting. They are such beautiful people, inside and out. And bit that you aren’t beautiful, America. You are and so many people, even here, want you and what you offer so very much. But I can’t explain what they’ve done to me, but my heart literally aches at times to stay here with them. So I’ve decided I have to end it with you.
I don’t know what life without you will look like. It’s scary to leave the comfort zone you’ve provided for me. However, some of the best things in life are outside of our comfort zones. All I know is that if you see me in the future, don’t expect for me to stay long. Foreign lands have stolen my heart and I will always go back to them.
Much love,
Allison
