As I rode my bike home I realize how much I do love my city. The familiarity of the sites smells atmosphere. I sit writing this in my back yard looking at the night sky enjoying the comfort of a place I have grown to love. I am a strong believer that without experience and change a person cannot fully understand what we have. It is tragic that often it is through loss we fully realize what we had.
The trip I am about to embark on started as a casual comment while talking with my termanlly sick dad and his response was do it while you can. With out that loss and that comment my decision probably would not have been made due to being comfortable . Because of loss I will live, hopefully love and enjoy new experiences. We only have a short time and there is it a lot to-do and I plan on trying my best to do the most I can.
