weit weg


I am back home.. bout a month now.

I just spaced out heaps. Nonchanately got back into my life here. And its been feeling nice.

I realized something though..

Exchange students are some of the best people in the world. Liiteeralllyyyyyy.


So here the story goes...

I got back from my District 5020 meeting. Its for us rebounds.. having troubles, ya know, fitting back into regular life. We met each other again, hardly knowing one another before, and wow.. meeting again, after our year abroad felt SO COOL. We saw, and heard in detail how much we've grown. We talked, we connected, we laughed, we cried, we talked about ghost stories and drank tea and swam in the salty water. but most of all.. We listened. alll weekend long. each one of us had our stories, and we all listened. We understood. And it was intense. I don't know how else to describe it. But, the feeling of coming back home again, is strange. (I understand now that it has been a easier journey for me than some others, but I have my mom to thank for that and close friends). I just feel, sad now. I feel like.. overwhelmed by happiness. So conscious how many wonderful, unique, people that are out there and going to do good in the world.

I feel so confused though. What shall I do now? To keep this... to treasure it forever and never let go. And my answer is : To be thankful, everday. GIVE THANKS. to my mom, rotary, to me, to my friends and just send some beautiful love eneergy to everyone out there. I know they will feel it.

I'd love to spread my wings once more. Take another adventure. Its in my vains.. running through eveerrry energy cell. But, as of now, Olympia is wonderfully perfect. I love drinking my goat milk and going on a bike ride with friends. I've regained a long lost friend. That was so great. I feel so content but so uneasy, like I can never stay at one place long enough.. but this, is,just,the beginning of the rest of my life.

Friday I will job shadow my naturopathic doctor. I am looking forward to it. I plan on volunteering. Americore sounds fantastic. I plan on community college, and one day at a time. I plan on doing more yoga, exercise and having a deep relationship with my family. I plan on dancing and hopefully getting enough time for the guitar and cooking heaps and soaking up this vitamin D sun shine rays for the remanding summer and then playing in the leaves in fall. I love this simple life... so beautiful and content.

    I like listening. It's something I need to work on. But I like listening to you because when I do, it makes me smile.

    Send the love energy to the WATER!

    Thankful? Be thankful?

    I am thankful for hand-me-downs, plastic lunch boxes, brilliant friendships, parents that care, different colours of floss, reversable dresses, and Oliver the Fish.
