T-minus 39 days until I board a plane headed for the other side of the world.
It's weird that when I'm about to leave on a lengthy journey, leaving behind all my friends and family, and when I should be soaking up every possible moment with them...that it's the time when I feel the most alone.
"Be happy about your growth, in which of course you can't take anyone with you, and be gentle with those who stay behind...Seek out some simple and true feeling of what you have in common with them, which doesn't necessarily have to alter when you yourself change again and again.
...Don't expect any understanding; but believe in a love that is being stored up for you like an inheritance, and have faith that in this love there is a strength and blessing so large that you can travel as far as you wish without having to step outside it." - Rainer Maria Rilke
