Im coming home, tell the world that I'm coming home.
I can't believe it. 11 months ago, I was in LA with 51 strangers (well people I have only known for about barely 2 1/2 months before) embarking on a new journey around the world.
This has been a year of fun and wild adventures. Also a year of breakthrough, growth and trust.
I can keep going, this trip has definitely changed who I am. For the better of course.
I now have 51 family members who I love so dearly. Living life without them always in my space 24/7 is going to be very different, but I am glad that they are just a phone call away and in some cases a 4 hour drive away.
For right now No more Squatty potties, no more hand washing clothes, no more bucket showers, no more mosquito nets, no more filtering water, no more sleeping on the floor, and no more daydreaming about chipotle or in n out or any other fast food place for that matter. But all these things I wouldn't trade for all that I have experience in the past 11 months. It was an experience that I enjoyed and definitely what I will be experiencing again in the near future. This lifestyle isn't over for me, it's just beginning!
I am in the Nairobi airport right now awaiting to board one of our 4 flights home.
These crazy flight patterns will be missed and also people watching in the airport.
Also us taking up the back of the plane and being loud, singing songs. It wont be there anymore.
I feel as though I am going to return home and not know how to function the right way.
It'll all be so foreign to me. (Ok, not really) But I do know things will be different.
We have had a few crazy travel days, but for the most part all has been well.
Love! The whole basis of this was to love, and to love unconditional. No matter what people are like and where they are coming from, the main thing to do was to Love. We Love because HE first loved us.
Selfish times wanted me to withold, other times it was easy, a few times I didn't want it to be an option.
Im coming home. Loving like never before.
So what's next?! What I am I going to do?
The truth to that question is.. I don't know!
I have no idea what I will be doing or where I'll be going.
The opportunites are endless it's just putting my feet to what my heart is chasing.
I do know one thing. 3 weeks after I get home, the organization I am with AIM puts on a little event for us called Project Searchlight. It is where they help us figure out what we can do next. They have many options for us to look at. It is a great program and can't wait to go and see what options are available for me.
I can't wait to see everyone when I get home.
Love you all.
Andrew
