"I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again.."
This tune has been stuck in my head for over a month now.. and today it hit me.. "Yes, I really am leaving!"
Less than 3 weeks now until my flight to Australia, and the next chapter. I feel excited, nervous, overwhelmed, at peace, curious.. you name it. Ultimately, I am so thankful for the opportunity to go and spend the next part of my life on a new adventure.
Life is funny, isn't it? Or as a good friend of mine puts it, "life is a pickle!" One minute you think it will go in a certain direction, or you have plans for something to happen, and in a blink it can change, twist and turn. Or maybe it goes the way you hoped, but it doesn't feel like you envisioned. Life is funny like that. But who am I to tell you this? We've all experienced our own roller coasters, our own happy endings, our own sorrows. But that's the beauty of it - we're not alone in this. Sometimes I think we forget to stop and think about that very fact; "we're all in this together." (Another tune for you there.) That's the beauty of this funny pickle called, "life".
.. But then I have to wonder, is it a crunchy pickle? Is it juicy? Is it sour? Sweet? Dill?.. Maybe I'll just enjoy it. :)
