"I don't even know where I am going, nor how, nor when. I just know that I am going."
.. it's just a catchy phrase that got stuck in my head awhile back that stuck with me. Sometimes Spanish phrases more accurately describe how my heart or soul feels in a certain moment, especially if those moments are monumental in some way. This phrase spoke something I was feeling, and I haven't forgotten it since.
Now, after a full, exciting, emotional and productive summer...(take a pause for a sigh)... me voy. I am going.
I am so excited about being able to go back to Argentina. When I left in 07, I promised myself that I wouldn't be just another study abroad student who went, had the time of her life, and only re-lived the moments while reminiscing with friends while sitting comfortably in America. I knew that I belonged there in some way, so until I figure out where else life will take me, I am going back. It could be for a month, it could be for 2 years. I am not sure what to expect, but I have a feeling it will great.
At the request of family and friends, I am going to attempt to keep a travel blog about what's going on in my faraway corner of the world. I am AWFUL at this sort of thing, but I am going to make a very brave effort to keep this up as much as possible.
Until then, I need to go back to packing, goodbyes, and slow, deep breathing..
Hasta pronto!
