I have few regrets in life. Every where I've been, place I've seen, experience I've had and person I've come to call 'friend' has created me little by little into the person I am today. But ever since I was young, my life has been a transitory one. College was the first time in 14+ years that I slept in the same bed for more than a month in a row and my wanderings have taken me to over 15 states and now 3 continents. My heart somehow finds ways to root itself wherever it goes and as such pieces of it lie with several wonderful people whose paths have at some point crossed with mine and is scattered. It hurts to always be away from people I love because honestly, there will never be a point where they are all in one place at one time. Coming to Granada, it was so difficult to try and put roots down because the knowledge that I would be leaving made me hesitant to get too attached. Must it always be this way? Travel is an integral part of my life and always will be but it's awful always being so torn! To be in college is away from family and to be at home is away from most of my closest friends. Skype covers miles but it's not the same as being present to hug, goof around, or simply be with someone. In times of transition such as now I'm looking ahead at the rest of my life and wondering where it will go. Will God take me far from home or put me in the US? Where is my home now even? No matter where I am, it always seems a world apart from someone or something. Ceasing to grow is not ever an option but for the time being, I want more than anything to just stay put in one place for an extended period of time without yanking out my roots and starting over. It's not that I'm as homesick now as I was, just looking for a place of my own I guess. Granada isn't it but I can't say for certain that it's Seattle or California either. This is where faith comes into it all I guess, so we'll see where I finally end up. In the meantime, there's a beautiful city just outside my window and a ready kitchen to go and make some delicious dinner tonight with friends. Future bring what it may, I'll do my best to make the present as great as possible no matter what comes my way. Cheers.
