It's
crazy how fast three and a half months flew by. It's even crazier that I
doubted myself and almost didn't come. During my time in Cape Town, I've come
to value myself so much more. When someone doubts me, I am confident enough to
stick up for myself. I understand that while I appreciate being validated by
others, I don't need it. I don't need anyone to tell me I'm smart and worthy
because I am. I'm just as worthy as my tiny humans. Everyone matters. I've
grown to appreciate life so much more. I've discovered my passion for tiny
humans. I've fallen in love with the world a little more everyday. I'm coping
with my intolerance to diary despite my plans tomorrow to eat mac and cheese
balls at high velocities. The tiny humans have helped me realize it's okay to
be laughed at, especially if you're crying through goodbyes. I've learned it's okay
to be wrong.
It
just won't sink in that I'll be traveling back to the states in twenty four
hours. I always struggle with goodbyes because I never want the feeling to end.
I suppose it's time to learn how to deal with goodbyes.
Goodbye to the best three months of my life. See you soon to twenty nine new friends. I'll love you later, Cape Town.
