Today, I said goodbye one of my dear friends who is moving back to Colorado. While I am very happy for her, it was harder than expected to say goodbye. Even harder knowing that in less than 6 weeks, I will be saying farewell to my life here in Boston. It's strange. I spent most of my college life traveling, jumping from one study abroad experience to the next. But this time it feels different. I've finally built a life here. Most of my friends and family are in Boston. I have a decent paying job and a great apartment. And here I am ready to give all that up. I didn't doubt my decision until I was at the airport today. The ramifications of my decision suddenly became crystal clear. I am leaving. I'm packing up my life without knowing whether or not I am coming back. And here I am standing in the middle of Logan airport when all this emotion just hit me like a freight train...And I just lost it.
Don't get me wrong. I know in my heart this is going to be an amazing experience. A once in a life time opportunity. It's what I have always wanted and has been a long time coming. I guess I never expected leaving to be so difficult. For now, I have too much to do to get worked up about this. I have to sell almost everything I have. It's just crazy how things have turned out...
