Lately I've been thinking about specific people and places that I am going to miss the most while I'm going to be in Bangkok, and I've come to the realization that nostalgia, instead of signifying change or instability, can signify how lucky I have been to build such strong bonds with those people and places. I know that this thought isn't particularly original, but it's lack of originality does not take away from its importance in this journey for me. My goal is that in May, I leave Thailand missing the people and places that I form bonds with in the coming semester just as much as I will miss my Berkeley life as it stands this semester.
So much love in my heart right now.
Starting to get excited about next semester. It's about time.
I love how you can be so introspective about your journey. You are so brave! I am so proud to be your mom.
