Fun Time in Hawaii
Me and my sista Sasa Officially 4 sleeps left before my departure for Tokyo. I have been dreading this week (and its closing) ever since I found out that I would be leaving. I am wrapping up one of the most definitive of my 23 years and I have questioned whether this is really what I want to do, having made such a wonderful life for myself here in Calgary.
And yet the goodbyes haven't been as bad as I had anticipated. I feel like I grew up and into myself this year; like I learned how to give of myself fully. I also felt what it's like to belong to a tight-knit community (several, actually). So I feel sad because I know that this year was so great because I was lucky in circumstance and if I ever did come back to Calgary I may never experience this kind of synergy again. But I'm also ready to test my developed self amidst a new culture, language and climate where everything is steeped in tradition and history.
I hope you'll leave me lots of messages and send pictures because despite all the excitement I sure am going to miss you guys!
