"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." - Dr. Seuss
I am not fond of goodbyes. After becoming so emotionally attached to the beautiful people I have come to build a relationship with, I never really learned how to part with them without feeling a part of me is being taken away.
But I think I will have to. Learning about the science behind the psychological need for us to travel, and believing the value of educating children using the world as a classroom, it looks like saying goodbyes will be a normal for the rest of my life. I will have to learn how to not think it's the end of something, but rather, the beginning of something else. Or in the wise words of Dr. Suess, "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
Another new phase of my little life journey begins , starting with a roadtrip.
