Travelling

Travelling is so exciting. I get to see the world from an outside perspective. Everything I see is a new experience, every experience is unfamiliar, and unfamiliar experiences are intriguing to my mind because I am not used to them. Not only do I see things differently, but my interpretations change, my reactions change, my expectations change, my thoughts change. One of the enlightenments of my trip is how everyone around me is so attracted to my presence. To feel like people want to pay attention to me is a feeling that I have sought during my life. I now realize that people warm to me because the feelings I have on the inside are projected outwards in my actions. Needs and desires are merely a reflexion of inaction, people react by pushing feelings outwards through actions. My trip has been so exciting because it has forced me to commit my feelings into actions. As time evolves during my experience my reactions will change. They say that it takes someone at least six months to adapt to different culture. I am positive my life will change throughout these six months. On saturday all of the friends I have now are leaving, the great experiences we shared will be unforgotten memories. My family and I are adopting new ways of interacting. Communication is more complicated, I need to start bonding on a personal level, otherwise; I do not know how to interact with them. The awkward stage of meeting and getting to know eachother will come to an end, and we will have to work towards a new level or risk disinteraction. When I begin school next week I will have to adapt to a new routine. I will have to make new friends and forge new relationships. I will no longer have a crutch of communication I have now with my Gringo friends. This is a new and terrifying experience. I have given myself to my cause, and I am ready for new experiences. My feelings are never fulfilled. I am constantly evolving and growing more knowledgeable. This is my road to self actualization. This is what travelling is all about.
