with 10 months left....


With 10 months left, where do I find myself. The Peace Corps experience has been fullfilling to say the least. I find myself wondering what my life would be like if I never embarked on this journey. You could say that I was couragous and selfless for deciding to leave my comforte zone for 27 months, but I would tell you that it wasn't either. I wanted to free myself. I wanted to grow as a person without the distractions of our so called lives. I wanted to get away. In the end I always knew that I would get so much more out of this experience. This journey has been a personal awakening, an exploration of my soul. I’ve learned to be comfortable with who I am. I’ve learned to enjoy nature, friendship, my guitar, a good book.

I always viewed life as an end, where do I want to be at the end. But I realized that life is the journey. Life is what passes us by when we’re worrying about what we want to do in the future. I just turned 27 and my life is completely changed. I have not the slightest idea of what I want do when I get back and usually that would scare me, but it doesn’t. I believe that my purpose is set, and no matter what road I go down that purpose will be fullfilled, so why worry. When you don’t know where you’re going, all roads lead the same way.
