The Adventure is Almost Over

Today is our last full day in New York, as we’ll be boarding the plane back to London evening. I knew that spending so long away from home and my comfort zone would be difficult for me, that I’d get anxious, and I had expected to be desperate to come back by this point, but in actuality, I’m really not.

Of course, on one hand those things are true - I have at times been very anxious, I am excited for my own bed, for things to not be so damn expensive anymore and to see my roommate again. But this trip has been everything I’d hoped for and more, I can’t remember the last time I was this happy for this long, here I’ve been able to spend my time with incredible, inspirational people and have forged or strengthened my relationships with them.

It’s been an emotional couple of weeks but ultimately I feel happier about myself and life in general as a result. I know I will take all that home with me, as well as the amazing memories I’ve made, but it still makes me a little sad that it all has to come to an end.
