Sitting in my high school bedroom, it's difficult for me to wrap my mind around the fact that I am leaving the country in less than one week. My travels begin in Dublin, Ireland, where I will spend a handful of days in the company of fellow former Starship crew member, Rashel. Determined to be in a new country for the New Year, I thought it would be a good start before heading to Delhi, India to meet with Anthony. All of it already feels like part of the journey, my whole life.
In the weeks prior to my departure, I spent most of my time with friends who I am going to miss so, so much. To consider that I in fact spent more of my life in Seattle than in Gig Harbor, it is no wonder that I am afraid to leave the city of my early adulthood. Those too were formative years. We all like to imagine our friends are the best people, and we all concede that despite it all, we love our families, and it's true.
Grateful is a term that comes to mind when I think about my life. I can't believe I get to be one of those people who is afforded the opportunity to travel freely like I will, like I have. On December 29th, I am setting out on a journey across the world to places I have never been, for experiences which I cannot immediately imagine. Who knows what will occur?
I just wanted to say, Seattle & Co., times have been bitchin'. Friends and family, while I can hardly wait to get the hell out of here, I am going to miss everyone ridiculously. My time is now, and I need to go.
