As it turns out, I'm leaving the nation. I've been feeling like a prize idiot for the last few months as I stumble through questions of purpose, intent, adequacy, and other self-absorbed topics. Now as I kick it in western Washington visiting loved ones, packing my bags, and tying up loose ends, I'm starting to realize that the next few months in Martinique are not all about me-- or at least, I don't want them to be. In light of this realization, I have decided to make a self-righteous blog where I can share my thoughts, discoveries, and other such tidbits. Here is an example:
Things I keep reminding myself:
1) It's not all about you.
2) If you're judging, you're not listening. If you're not listening, you're not learning. If you're not learning, what are you there for?
3) It's not all about you.
4) You're gonna make mistakes (more often than you realize), so adjust, try again, and roll with it.
5) Practice your patience
6) Love (yourself and others)
7) It's not all about you-- so breathe deep, friend, and get out there to figure out what it is about.
8) Chill :)
And also:
I would like to add that I am incredibly excited. 40(ish) hour count down begins now :)
