It's been about a week since I returned (a little over) and even though a travel blog is supposed to be about the excitement of traveling, and sharing photos of your adventures, I think it's also important to pay attention to the time period following the trip. I got a lot out of spending my time abroad this summer. For one, I gained huge amounts of perspective and clarity, which I keep harping on, but it's true. I never would be able to see my life in Detroit the same way if I hadn't left and gone somewhere completely different for a prolonged period of time. For another, I feel a lot calmer, as if the stress of the past year dissipated slowly while I was away. Granted, there were times when it felt kind of weird to be away, but you just push through that and accept life as it is and accept the benefits of being where you are.
I'm back and work is getting off the ground already. Crazy, right? Didn't we just finish last year? How could it possibly start already? But it is. Haha.
It seems, though, that my world has opened up again. I forgot that there's a whole big great world out there, ready to explore! And it's not as hard as it may seem to do. Glad to be back in Detroit (I missed it while it was gone), but can't wait to get back out there again. Till next time.
