Traveling the World

Four days left in the USA, and I’m beginning to get sad. Coming here, I was at a point in my life where I felt stagnant and redundant, but I was wrong.

This trip to the states has taught me so many things, for example that I needed to move to China to create this new path in my life. I knew I had learned a lot about myself and life while in China, but I didn’t get a chance to really see how much I’d learned until I came back and everyone was amazed at how much I’d changed (something earlier I was worried about whether people would like or dislike this change in me).

The reason I’m sad is because even though there are some things I still don’t care for in the US, I’ve really come to appreciate it a lot more than I ever did in the past. By having the opportunity to take 2 weeks to see a part of the country I’d never been to before, I got to see that Florida is certainly not representative of the whole, and it makes me happy. I also finally found a place I could live (since that’s been a goal of my travels) in one day, and that’s Seattle (I’ll write about Seattle on my other website in due time).

Another reason I’m sad is because, I want to go back to China, but I also don’t because I’m having such a great time here. The last reason I’m sad is because I have been in China for a long time, and I’ve decided to move back to the US next summer, so it’s a bit emotional thinking about China not being my home anymore. To this end, I’ll make the rest of my time in China the best part of my time there. No regrets, full steam ahead!
