yo.
so does anybody still read this thing? i myself had almost forgotten it existed. good thing i'm unemployed with nothing better to do than browse the internet for hours on end. there are worse things i could do with my time.
yah, so. i'm back in b.c. back in baby's arms. baby got back.
i love it here. i've had a lot of time to reflect on my trip, on the life i led for more than half a year that was so different from the one i lead here. and as much as i miss the excitement, the newness, and the continent itself, i still feel so glad to be home. b.c. is incredibly beautiful. did i know this before? i guess so. but i don't think i appreciated it. and we have such an amazing amount of educated and caring people. sure, there is still apathy oozing from the strip malls, the suv's of suburbia, of every town and city. but there is so much good intention here as well. i certainly never found another place where people say thank you when they get off the bus. and so many people care about their communities here. so many people smile at me as i walk down the street.
i think of all the things i got out of leaving the comforts of home behind, the most important was this new and improved sense of gratefulness. i feel so grateful every morning for everyone and everything i have here. that means you, whoever's out there. you even get bonus points for even checking if this thing is still alive.
anyways, i gots a lotta love for y'all.
that's all for today. back to twiddling my thumbs and trying not to think of the... f-u-t-u-r-e.
gasp.
