Dear U squad,
as many of you know I haven‘t fallen head over heels for any of the countries we have been to. So, I keep getting asked, “why do you want to go back so bad?” And my answer free much reflection is you all. It’s the way in a moments notice we drop EVERYTHING for each other. It’s the way we fight for each other. It’s the way we desire to love each other well. You all are the reason I’m searching for a cure to come back, not a country I’m dying to go to. Weirdly in India this hard I (introvert) loved squad living. here my love letter to you all!
