I leave in 3 days. Crazy.
Last night, when everyone was asleep, I crawled into my bed around midnight and started thinking. And that got me worrying. Then all of a sudden I was panicking. I kept asking myself if I had everything that I needed and if I was ready to leave home and my mom and spend three months in a place I had never been with people I have never met. After thinking a while I decided I know the answer to three things.
Am I ready to not have American food for the next hundred days? Yes.
Am I ready to not be connected so much to my technology? Yes, yes YES.
Am I ready to learn? Absolutely.
I still know I am not ready. But maybe that is the excitement of it all -- the fact that I would and will never be ready for an experience like this. That it is going to be, probably, the greatest adventure of my life. And I know that everyday will not be a walk in the park, HA it will be more like crawling through the mud sometimes but hey I can do it. I am so ready for something to move me, for something to change me. To change the way I look at the world. I feel like I am in a bubble and I am not saying it is a bad thing but I am ready to pop it. I am ready to soak up all that I can learn from these people.
I realized I know one more thing.
Am I ready to love these people? Yes. More than ever.
I love Thailand already. And I haven't even set foot on their soil.
Peace Arizona and America. I'm outta here!
