As I continue to wrap my mind around my departure, accepting the unknown, going into this experience open-minded lacking expectations. Wouldn't anyone rather be surprised by discoveries than let down by too high of expectations? The reality of my future service is 27months is a lengthy duration. The last time I went abroad was nowhere near even half this time. Some people who kept in contact with me back then definitely weren't the people I had expected; hence trying not to set any this time. I am a strong believer people come in and out of your life for a reason. Some may stick around longer than others, some may not have a choice but to leave, whereas some do not wish to stay around. Either way no hard feelings, sure maybe some sadness but the emotion that should be emphasized the most is gratitude! It may take some time for realization to set in the purpose or what the mark that person made in your journey called life, yet, everyone we meet small or big role has played a role steering our path.
A really great song with a thoughtful and valid words that I couldn't have said better to express how the past couple of nights have gone and what I expect the next few leading up to my flight....
"Everything Will Change" by Gavin Degraw
Hey, before it gets too late
Before the night is over, before the world’s awake
Everything will change
Hey, I feel it coming on
Starting like a fire, tonight you lit the flame
Now everything will change
Back when it used to hurt
Took you a little while just to find the words
Losing, well, it sometimes burns, but you keep moving on
You’ve got to grow strong like you’re leading the nation
Got to make the best out of this situation
Get your hands up like it’s a celebration
And you keep moving on
I will remain positive, that those who wish share in this adventure with me will stay in touch. I am also looking forward to the friends I make along the way! Although the realist individual in me, knows life gets busy, complicated, full of distractions that all I wish is for the best to all my friends while I am away. Wish them happiness in love and career, good health and those that may feel lost at the present time, find the path they are meant to travel :)
Like I have mentioned before, without change progress growth cannot happen. Thus, this experience is not only a door opening opportunity to my future career path, but a chance to grow; to grow intellectually, culturally, maturation and spiritually.
