Day 28
Something that you miss
HOME!
So much, I miss home. I miss Shannon. I miss Bailey, Kahlua, and Alvin. I miss Ballpark Beef Franks, orange juice, and my DVDs. I miss being able to talk in feet, Fahrenheit, miles, cups, and acres and having people understand what I mean.
I miss the little rituals that I had with my family and friends, like Rico’s night.
At the same time, though, I’m glad that some of those have changed because I’ve learned from them.

Day 27
Your favourite place
At the risk of sounding terribly cheesy, I’m going to say that my favourite place is wherever Shannon is. She has been my home almost since we met. She makes me feel better. In her arms, I feel so safe. As long as I am with her, the world is perfect.

Losing my family to tragedy.
Spiders.
Failure.
Hate.
People who are ignorant and/or bigots.

Day 25
NOTE: Sorry I stopped updating, but I'm gonna finish them all now.
A first
One giant first for me is my first (of many, hopefully) time in Africa. This entire trip is a series of firsts. First time kayaking. First time in both the Indian and Atlantic oceans. First time off the North American continent. First American lesbian many MANY people have ever met. First time truly feeling the impact of racism. First time being a racial minority, first time teaching someone in a different language. First time appreciating certain aspects of America.
There are countless others that are both inconsequential and monumental. I cannot begin to explain how much this trip has changed me in amazing ways. I’m more independent, more confident, more assertive, more powerful, more appreciative, more alive. I cannot wait to come back to this country and continent with my family and see how it continues to foster growth.
