Cravings

All my life I've craved different cultures, all my life I've been more comfortable with people that share that interest with me, that share a background like me, that share the mind set I've just always had. I've always felt like I'd never be content to live my whole life in the States, it's just not for me. And being here in Korea, being mixed among so many different kinds of people, with so many different backgrounds, experiencing so many different things, it's only validating everything I've always thought. I need a life like this, whether it's in Asia or Europe or the Middle East, I will always crave this life, this international life, the world as my home, learning languages and learning to live like these cultures.

It's so refreshing being here after so many years in the States. It makes me know that my heart still craves this, that this is really all I've ever really known and pushing myself to live an average life in the States is not what will make me happy. This trip was exactly what I needed at this point in my life, exactly what my body and soul needed, and it has brought me so many answers to so many unanswered questions lingering. I finally see the world like I used to, I'm living it like I used to, and I'm finally feeling that sense of place again, that sense of place that I crave and love and hold so very dear to me.
