Six months have come and gone far too quickly.
It’s hard not to think about the lack of time I have left. But I know I shouldn’t.
After several discussions with Logan last night, I’ve been reminded of how impossible it should be to be sad here. It really should be impossible. We are only here for a year, and we are in this place. Full of beauty and history and new experiences and interesting people from whom we learn. We’ve been accepted in to a family to love and laugh with. My host family makes me feel like I’ll be apart of their lives forever. Nothing beats that.
Screw my expectations. Throw away the goals I made at the beginning of the year. Turkey is serving me. Showing me what I’m supposed to see. Teaching me what I’m supposed to learn. All it requires of me is an open mind and heart.
My heart is full after six months.
