So it's January 13, only 11 days until I fly back to reality.
I realized today that I've already begun reprogramming my brain to go back to the real world.
I'm paying bills, budgeting, searching for more design gigs, registering for classes, etc.
This four month hiatus has been exactly what I expected it to be, yet completely different.
I knew it would change me, I just didn't know how.
I knew it would stretch me, I just didn't know where.
I knew it would suck at times, I just didn't know how much!
I knew I would meet incredible people, I just didn't know how hard it would be to leave them.
I knew I would learn things about myself I never knew before, I just didn't know how they would be brought to the surface.
The night before I left the States, I wrote in my journal an encouragement to myself for when I questioned why I had come all the way to Scotland to find myself: Rediscover the beautiful woman you are. Be you. True, authentic, raw, natural. You.
I knew I would accomplish that, I just didn't realize how much it would stick with me.
Ok, I'm done, que the stupid comments from the brothers :)

Glad you found yourself. Shouldn't be difficult considering how fat you are....
