je m'en vais!
me voy!
estou saindo!
I'm Leaving!
Farewell!
Today is the day, January 11th. It is just so appropriate that I leave on this very day. For one, 11 has always been my lucky number and two, it was exactly 5 years ago on January 11th when I began my first journey. I said goodbye to my family and was on my way to Africa. Now, on this same day, I am onto my second big journey to live in Puerto Rico. I will be in Puerto Rico in several hours. Then the excitement will begin. I will be there until June. After that....who knows.
For the past month I have been staying with my Mom in the house I grew up in. It's quite the love hate relationship. I love nothing more than being on my own, being independent and making my own legacy away from home, but when I return I remember and relish in all the little things that I have forgotten and I remember my roots and why I am the way I am. I especially love my Mom. She makes me so happy and makes me laugh. I have realized that everything about me good and bad I have probably learned from my Mom. We share a craziness that only we (and family members) understand. (Except I have decided that I will never try to feed our cat pancakes, eggs, grilled cheese sandwiches or whatever our other leftover food may be, even though it can be surprisingly. I mean, I still have yet to see them eat any of it.)
So I guess what I am trying to say is that even though I truly love venturing far away and being away for long periods of time, I cherish everyone in my family and everything about them more than they know.
my mom fed him leftover grilled cheese. he didn't eat it. those bites in them are from me, not the cat.
Haha Oh Taylor. This is funny. You're cat. And I still miss you. Hope it is all you wanted down there. <3
