I'm leaving in eleven days. First to Hong Kong, then back home for a week, then up to my home college for my summer job.
It doesn't feel real. Not at all. The butterflies in my stomach are scant fluttering their wings.
Summer has most definitely arrived: Taiwan's humid stickiness has returned and the temperatures are soaring again, but I'm much more used to it this time around. I didn't think that that was possible--getting used to 90-degree, 65 percent humidity weather--but I suppose you can get used to a lot.
I've learned so much on this journey, but I think the most important lesson has been learning to love my messy and incomplete self. I have a much clearer picture on what I want to accomplish my last year in college and in graduate school, and that was worth all of the discomfort and pain.
Time to finish my research paper, do my job training...and keep writing.

Funny how time flies by.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to know that you learned to love yourself.
Are you looking forward to go home?
