Home life

     I have been home for two days now. It is strange, stranger than I thought it would be, but it is ok. I knew my time in London had to end at some point. It was harder than you can imagine to say goodbye to my friends and to say goodbye to the city that has my heart, but it had to be done. I know it isn't goodbye forever either. I will see my friends soon; we have made plans to spend time together over the summer.
     Being home is strange. I notice things more now than I did in pre-London life. I have realized that I do not like living in the town I grew up in. It is too familiar. I like exploration and discovery. I enjoy finding new places rather than knowing where to go and how to get there.
     My time in London has scrambled my mind and my plans for my future. I need to seriously sit down and reconsider what I want to do with my life and where I want to spend it. I knew this was going to happen, but again, I didn't expect it to make such an impact. My mind races with ideas of what I want to do. Move to England, stay in America but live in a city, move to another European country, teach English somewhere in Asia, stay in NJ and save my money to travel the rest of the world. I did not it was possible to have so many possibilities, but that makes me truly appreciate my life and the opportunities I have because how may people can say they can do whatever they want. As long as I set my mind to it, I can make anything happen. I am the luckiest girl in the world to have supportive parents and family, who for the most part, will let me do anything that makes me happy.
