Hi.
Life in Asia is something else. I don't know if it's the culture, the school, being alone, or having my first real job and apartment, but life isn't what I was expecting. Sometimes I stop and think, "wow I fucking live in Asia how did I get here". And it's so crazy. That I have my own apartment, I'm cooking my own meals with limited resources, and it's all happening right after college in Thailand. It's been 6 months since I've lived here. I've met some incredible people. Since leaving Oregon, living in Hawaii for four years, and now here, I've seriously met some of the best people from so many different parts of the world. We have a group here made of someone from France, Iran, Canada, and Thailand and we are so close. I've made a Thai family who takes me to peoples homes for fresh made Indonesian food. People who can speak several different languages. And it just amazes me, because how did I get here? My sister is coming on Christmas Day, and I'm sad and stoked. Part of me wishes I could have gone home. But then I'll have someone here to tour the whole country with, and that's what we're going to do; go from the top of Thailand to the bottom. Work has been well. We've had a Christmas party, gone out a lot, had dinners and hang outs. It's becoming like a family. Only thing, getting to work in the morning is a complete struggle for me.. I also bit the bullet and got my eyebrows microbladed... it cost nothing but I should've waited for America... to not have a permanent asian style eyebrow In the end of my experience, I want to look back on this time as a period of growth and opportunity. I am truly blessed and thankful everyday for the people back home who still check in on me. And for those who don't.... it's kind of nice to see who's perspectives change and match our own and who never grows. I'm enchanted by those who accept new things, welcome diversity and different cultures. Who have an open mind. But my real goal, to find an unbreakable army of people, who are so welcoming and loving, people who will never leave you and accept you flaws, mental illnesses and all. I want that crowd of like minded people to follow me through out my life, sharing their experiences of the world while I can share mine.
