ten years go by fast
Wednesday, November 30, 2005
Ten years ago I left Peru and on December 12, 2005…I’ll be going back to live.
Several thoughts crowd my mind as I get ready to venture back:
+ + how is this all going to pan out?…
+ + lima isn’t really what I remember it to be…
+ + I can’t wait to live on the beach…surfing galore…
+ + all my close friends are in the States…
+ + will I be able to make a difference?…
+ + it’ll be nice to finally settle down…
+ + I get to keep an art studio…
+ + my dad got a satellite dish…I can watch football!…
+ + woohooo!!…
+ + it really is the right time to go back…
+ + God has been so good to me…
+ + I get to have 4D coffee…that stuff is so good…
+ + I’ve made some amazing friends throughout the last ten years…
+ + what do people expect from me in lima?…
+ + can I hack it?…
+ + I’m going to give it my best…
+ + I love my family…
+ + the new Sufjan Stevens album is amazing…
+ + I’ve got 2 bags of clothing and 5 boxes of books to my name…
+ + It’s tough to think that I left home at fifteen…I was so young…
+ + I’m getting old…haha…
+ + God, please give me the ability to influence that nation…
+ + what am I going to influence them with?…
+ + I’m not fearful anymore…
+ + I want to write a book before I die…everyone’s doing it these days…
+ + will I live in lima for the rest of my life?…
+ + this is a big deal…
+ + this is a really big move…
+ + I’m really excited…
As I look back…it’s the last ten years that have shaped me the most. I couldn’t say that I’m not a little freaked out…because I am, but I’m definitely not fearful anymore. In fact, I’m up for the challenge…I can’t wait for the challenge.
