The day of departure. Such a fun night last night. Enjoying and laughing every minute. Never idle, constantly being present, and just happy in Rena's company. 

After a day of odds and ends, a night of carefree dancing, laughter, gifts, good food, good people, good night.

I'm a bag of mixed emotions now on this plane. People around me taking pictures, excited, happy faces ready for what lies behind Gate 1. Am I ready for this? For all of this? Leaving, goodbyes, moving on, exploring, living? I think the emotion I'm feeling most right now is fear. There's no going back. I've made my decisions, there's only forward. 

The plane is taking off and I feel as though there are strings pulling me in all directions. The people behind me, the adventure ahead. Although I am afraid, I want to know what I am made of. And so I go forward.
