Life goes on...

The more things change, the more things stay the same.

I've made efforts to start reconnecting with friends back at home. Just the other day, I was hit hard with homesickness, and was looking for ANY reason to just find my way back home. But what good would that do?

I've been very fortunate to see some very cool places here in Europe. I've seen and done things I never thought I'd ever like doing, and certain things have changed my outlook on life, myself, the ones I love, and made me reevaluate values. Having had this affect, I've just accepted that I should always be willing to try something once... even if I think I may not like it.

In the end, I'm still me, and my life is waiting for me back at home... but life back at home will never be the same, and I shouldn't accept it as something I should just dive right back into, and move on in the "race"-- only fulfilling my one piece of the puzzle. Instead of creating a new puzzle for others to solve, I have whole size billboards to bring back, and share all my experiences in one large fell swoop.

That's how you live life, learn, and share.
