Experience

As my last day here approaches, I'm in a cloud of nostalgia. 

I've learned a lot during my experience here in Chuncheon. 

I've accepted some of my flaws, and broadened my perspective. 

Maybe I'm just a bit braver with all the adventures I have had while living away from home and managing my own life. 

I still have a lot to learn, but looking back, I can honestly say that I will leave here with new perspective. 

One thing I told myself when I left for South Korea, was that I would never forget who I am. 

I haven't forgotten. 

I have some good memories of places and people.

I faced three really big fears. 

I shared ideas with people all over the world. 

I saw some beautiful sights: mountains, temples, parks and islands. 

I learned more about myself. My strengths and weaknesses. 

I took some risks. 

I visited places on my bucket list. 

I started a new story. 

I made some difficult decisions.

I met so many amazing people from all walks of life: travelers, wanderers, explorers, artists, teachers, students and survivors. 

I'm grateful for this experience: the good and the bad. 

As Kingdom Hearts says: "There are many worlds, but they share the same sky. One sky, one destiny." 

Some of these people I will see again, and some I may never see again. 

But every encounter is a precious moment, and I will never forget the people that I have met on this journey. 

Of course, it's not over yet, and life can surprise you, but for now, as I move to a new chapter, I will treasure these memories, and take comfort that my story has been connected to many others.
