Acoustic

Here Comes the Sun.

El valor

It makes me nervous when people say that I'm brave, or when people say, "Oh, this sounds perfect for you"...I don't want to let them down because I know that I will be afraid, I will be homesick, and I have the possibility of doing something wrong that messes it up for my partener, makes work for my supervisors, embaresses my parents, and disappoints the people who were so supportive before.

Write NOW, and keep writing even if you havn't gotten a letter back....it will mean the world to me.

salir/voltar

What is this chaos?! I'm confused as to why, when death is everywhere around me, this is the happiest I have been in a very, very long time.

What I want to get out of this summer:
become a more mature person
get rid of picky eating habits
meet good friends
see beautiful people and places
teach someone something they never knew before
be taught something new by each person I meet
do something I never thought I would do
play soccer with the locals
try to move on
deep-clean my room
change just enough, and not too much, by the time I come back
come back with a clear head

Inspired by Haley and Ynez, I finally put my gmail account to good use.
I guess it was a good time to write my first post, because I've found that whenever I write things, it always when I'm sad. And I'm far from that right now!

20 days until I leave for Lempira, Honduras.
Write me asap....address coming soon.
