Tomorrow morning I will leave the place that has become my home. Tomorrow will be a day of sadness, and hope -- a day for new beginnings, as well as endings. Tomorrow I return a more independent young woman, who on some level has found a measure of equilibrim, the purpose of this blog.
Writing has helped. Friends have helped. Learning about Danish culture has helped. Being in Denmark has helped. These have helped me realize that there are places for me out there -- places where I can live, and grow, and explore. There are people out there who understand what makes me tick, because it makes them tick. There are people out there who get it -- get that being happy, being content in life, doesn't derive solely from competition and aquisition.
There is hope. And with that hope I return to the good ole US of A in hopes of either finding those kinds of people there or one day returning to this nation that seems to be brimming with them.
So for now, farewell dear Denmark. May I one day return to find myself at home again.
