Take me away

I can't believe life is hitting me in the face this hard. A couple months ago, I was yearning for the days that I would leave this town but now that it's finally here it just doesn't seem right. Everything is change. Everyone is changing. I've had to deal with some very stressful events the past few months but I think I have finally learned my lesson. Family always comes first.

For a long time I always wondered why my parents never showered me with the love I desired. They fulfilled my desires and wishes but I just felt like something was missing. After what happened in the beginning of July, I am forever thankful to my parents. For everything they have done. I would like to thank them for putting up with me when I have been my horrible self. For finding out everything yet still loving me, perhaps more than ever. My family means the life to me and, I know they prohibit me from a lot of social events, they are worried about my safety. Thank you Mom and Dad. I love you!

End of July and mostly all of August, I spent my time in INDIA. Well...I want to go back!! NOW! I never knew how great it felt to see all of your family. I finally felt complete when I reunited with each and every family member. I got my childhood back. I saw the place where I grew up, where I took my first steps, where I used to play with my dolls. Honestly, seeing all of this brought so many tears. I can't believe I missed out on all the family events while I was here. I loved every second of my time there and wouldn't trade it for the world. I've realized how much my family means to me. I would be no where without them! I cherish the moments that I got with them and they are a memory that will always stay with me. On a fun note, there are monkies...everywhere! My grandma got slapped by one, hehe. Oops. We climbed to the top of a sacred mountain, which took at least 5 hours and then climbed down in the pouring rain. The Taj Mahal was simply beautiful! I couldn't believe my eyes. How wonderful is to see that there is true love out there. Someone who would go through so much trouble to make a grave for his wife. Awh :) The flight back was completely upsetting. A part of me just didn't want to leave. I wanted to stay there and spend more time with everyone. Watch my baby cousin grow up! Eat all of the foods that I could. But I'll be back there soon enough

I leave for college in about a week! Where did all the time go? I can't believe this. I'm finally grown up. No more home cooked meals with Mama. No more silly arguments with my brother and sister. No more of my own room in my parents house. This is so distressing. But change is good. I'm ready to see what life has in store for me. BRING IT ON.
