Two years later.

I swore I'd be the same person.

Oops.

It's almost exactly 2 years in Peru and it feels like yesterday but a far yesterday; it's strange.  I have done some much and so little but it's been awesome.  Unfortunately, this blog means that the END IS NEAR but not the real end...mostly BIG changes are coming.  I remember thinking 27 months is a loooong time to be away from my comfort but now I'm as confused as when I first got here.  I have grown comfortable here and I'm not sure why. Yea, the people are nice. The place is beautiful.  I can see stars at night.  I have a bed to sleep in.  I'm not dying of hunger.  No but seriously, WHY?  It's the same reason I felt comfortable in the states...the people around me.  I have loved, laughed, and lived thanks to them.  The people around me aren't the ones I thought would be there but that's the beauty of life. I have met so many amazing people and it's going to be so weird to stay here without them.

Yup, I like to torture myself.

All I know is that I am grateful and scared...and a tiny bit excited.  Those are the exact same feelings I had 2 years ago...maybe things haven't changed all that much.

Helloooo one more year in Peru!! This time I think it really will be just me and you, Peru!
