100% honesty here.
This has been a hard year.
Probably one of the hardest years I’ve had (you probably already knew
that).
But here’s the thing….
For a while now, I have been letting hardest equal worst in
my head. I have been walking around for
the last couple weeks thinking to myself that this has been a horrible year
because I had to work really hard to see very little results. I have been counting down the days until I
leave because I was ready to leave this chapter of my life behind me.
Then last night….
I went out to dinner with some friends last night to
celebrate my birthday and we got to talking about memorable moments. We talked about what are our worst
experiences, things we are going to miss, and our best experiences during this year. Through this conversation, I realized that so
many amazing things happened this year.
Sure there are some moments that I would not like to repeat, but there
are many that I would love to go back and do again. This year I have hiked in some beautiful
places, vacationed on a volcanic island, been to the presidential house, seen
the Panama Canal, jumped off a waterfall, and met some of the most amazing
people.
As I am sitting here, looking at my packed bags, I am filled
with emotion because this has actually been one of the best years of my
life. I am going to miss this place more
that I ever thought I would. But more
than that, I am going to miss the people here.
This place has incredible people who have made a huge impact on my life.
Because I didn’t get to say goodbye to all of you (and
because honestly, I couldn’t say this without completely breaking down in
tears): Thank you. Thank you for your
hospitality, your honesty, your friendship.
I thank God for you (and internet so we can keep in touch). Thank you for everything.
I wish I had pictures of everybody, but here are a couple.
