So long, So long.

I'm laying in my bed for the last time tonight.
Tears are streaming down my face and memories flood my mind with all of the amazing moments I've had here.
I'm going to miss this place. I'm going to miss my brother. For some reason whenever I think of him, I cry the most. I just love having his company. My whole life he has been with me. His room has always been right next to mine. I could hear him playing his music through the walls or laughing at the tv. Just simple things like that are what I love most about being home. I've been so comfortable in my life here, and the thought of everything changing makes me feel like jello. My heart aches but at the same time it's longing to make a difference. I'm so excited for what lies ahead yet so sad for what I'm leaving behind. My friend Sivan sent me a letter recently and what she said was so true. "The greater the risk, the greater the gain." If I never stepped out of my comfort zone, what would I have to gain? Nothing.
I have so much to learn and even more room to grow. This opportunity is a blessing and I might as well just go for it rather than hold back.
The transition will be a struggle, but God knows what's best for me, and I'm positive he knew what he was doing when he created me. This is what I was made to do. Share the love and help the world. I can't wait.


I will miss you, Colorado.
Thanks for the good times.
See you in March!
My next blog post will be from London.
Cheers!
