It's my last day in Gili Trawangan. My last day in Paradise, Christmas Day. I leave this island for down under in a short time and can't remember the last time i was this passionate about a place. This island. These people. The wonderful relationships i have made in this short time that i have been traveling. It is the most freeing experience i have ever had in the whole of my life. I feel as if i could just float away and disappear on an island in the sea and stay forever. I feel much sorrow having to leave such a beautiful place and beautiful people. People that are full of life and love. That will make you feel at home in their home and in their hearts. They don't have much and they don't need much. They are happy everyday they have in this life. They have no worries but to live this next day like it's the greatest day of their life. That's beauty. That's real life. It's how this existence should be experienced. We have such a short time on this earth to do whatever we can to the fullest and we should fight for it. It's Christmas Day today and i think it is the best Christmas i have ever had. No presents, no tree, just the culmination of experiences of the last two months. I have been changed. I have been enlightened to a new way in this life. I miss my family and friends dearly and wish them all the best holiday. I love you all very much and cannot wait to see you again. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
