there is a season...

Happy May 4th.

One year ago today, I left for Ireland. Today, my work visa expired.

I'm not really sure what I think about it. It's been an interesting year. I wish I was still in Ireland, but I keep reminding myself that by the time I left last August, I was done with it. That was my past, and it was awesome. This is my future - and it has potential too.

Each part of my life is different, feeding a different part of me. Last summer fed my spirit, my adventure. This summer, I think, is going to feed my mind, my academic side. Next summer will be about endings and beginnings. So I can accept that, and maybe even embrace it.

But it's still a little sad. It's very easy to miss escaping real life.
