After attending mass to support the loss of my roomate's father, it has become quite clear how quickly life can change, and how important it is to be with the one's you love. Although I love to have my life full of adventure and travel, in another 6 months I will have spent 6 years quite far from the family that I cherish sooo much! 4 years in SF, one in Spain, and one in South America and although I am fully capable of continuing to live on my own and sometimes feel that the american culture pushes us to live this way, after having some wonderful life experiences and still yet more to come, living amongst a culture who values family and friendships above anything else has really allowed me to see that what I want is to be close to the people that I love and who love me. I am so lucky to be getting to see the world, work, study, and travel abroad and have a family to come home to and share it with. Because, what is life if you've no one to share it with?
