Flash back to high school:
I was at a restaurant. And with a person, who if nothing else, left with me a comment that just stuck. Maybe because it was harsh, offensive, or just brutally honest. It went a little something like this:
You know what it is about you? You're happy sticking to what you know, going to the same restaurants, traveling to the same places. You settle for what makes you comfortable. You're scared to try new things.
I doubt said person meant to trigger some crazy revelation. Ehhh...Little did he know...
So, some changes were made. Priorities adjusted. Goals clarified.
The following summer I was off to Nicaragua. Now I joined AIESEC. In a bit I'll be off to Hong Kong. HONG KONG!
I'm not much for reflecting on THAT path not chosen . But, now I hit a time where, under certain family circumstances, I don't have much of a choice.
And this is what I have to say:
I am SO fucking glad.

Things are good. Congrats on nearing graduation my friend! Any trips to Madison planned pre Jan 12th???
Look me up if you ever come up to Shanghai. Also let me know if you need some introductions in HK.
We might bump into each other in HK at some point next year as I'm often there.
