It occurred to me today that I have no real words to fully describe what this experience abroad has been. Today it sort of culminated into this weird realization like, “This is my LIFE!?” Or more like it has been my life, it’s almost over now. I’m neither sad nor happy about it (okay, maybe some of both but in manageable quantities). It was enjoyable and maybe I’ll think to change things that I can’t. I wonder how it has affected me in the long run. Hopefully I’ve gained some independence, I think that was important to me. I think I have, I hope I can keep it. It also occurred to me how odd it will be to suddenly have someone I care about pop into my life in a matter of days. I guess I’ll switch off from surreal, survival mode back to the reality I once knew. Japan was fun though, although ‘fun’ isn’t quite fitting. I think it was all…quixotic.
I’m curious to see how the rest of this year plays out.
