go, then goodbye.
i've done it. finished the fight, laughter, tears and dancing that composed the past 12 months. my hatred to a new place and life became a timid love affair. a place rich in culture, custom, and discrepancies. too much to put into words.

in it all i came to find, there is never a right time for goodbye. you're always too; too angry, too scared, too attached, too confused, too busy, too in-love. the best move is to just go. go and deal with the sadness and separation in a new place. goodbye to people, places, memories and love; in it all, there's no perfect moment to depart. i grew to love my life in korea, but to stay longer would be improper. i've got a new page to write starting in this moment. lacking a permanent address for a bit more, then the dreaded comittment to these anxious feet. comittment to a zip code, phone number, friends and bills. scary in a new way.

and so i've laughed and loved, gave and been given more than i deserved. in the end, a home was made, family was grown. i've been blessed. thank you korea.
