People always talk about leaving as a negative word. To me, it's 50 - 50. When you leave something behind, you approach something else. Something new comes into your life. I left my whole world; my family, my friends, my garden, my gigantic speakers, my favorite chair and my lovely bed on August 27th 2009. Wow. It seems like such a long time ago. Sometimes I find myself wondering how I could do it? How I can live without them. Everything I left will stil be there when I come home (at least I hope so) but if I hadn't left I wouldn't be who I am now. I wouldn't know all the things I know, I wouldn't have grown. I would've never met all my friends here and my hostfamily. I would've never had the chance to play Little Red in the school play or practice every day with the basketball team, have ugly laughs with my new sisters, hang out at bonfires, have endless hot-tub parties, go to football games with more than 5 people cheering them on, been to homecoming, experience an American christmas, go shopping at 10 pm, wear yellow purple and pink, make friends for life and test all my limits.
So.. What I'm trying to say is that with a "goodbye" you say hello to new things. Things you never knew could be so good. Things you never knew could make you so happy. And new things are what makes life worth living and makes your heart beat a little faster just because you feel so alive.
