It’s hard to believe
that month 7 is almost over! As I think
about it the thoughts of coming home overwhelm me. Coming on this trip I knew that my life was
going to change. I was going to
experience things and see things that were completely out of my comfort
zone. Well that is true and it’s
happened.
What I didn’t expect
was to feel so distant from home. When I
return home I know things are going to be different. It’s going to be hard to adjust to life. I’m going to move back in with my parents and
not know what to do with my personal space. Relationships are either going to pick up where they left off, take
forever to catch up on, or cease to exist. I’m not excited about the third but it’s only the reality of being gone
for a year. I’ve done my fair share of
sending messages to people and asking how they are doing and what new is going
on in their lives and to those that have responded it means the world to
me! But I’ve come to the realization as
hard as it’s been to realize that things wont be the same when I get home. I’ve always carried my heart on my sleeve and
for that I’ve had my heart hurt a lot but realizing that things wont be the
same is helping me get a head start on all the relationships that will probably
cease to exist when I get home.
This blog isn’t to
come as a shock or to hurt anyone’s feelings. If I’ve done that to you I’m truly sorry. I’m just realizing that life will not be the
same when I get home. This is the
beginning of something new, a clean slate.
