One of the most confusing times is now. The last week
has been a daze of events and things happening, and here we are, the night
before we have to leave. I am so deeply upset that this is my last night in
Cape Town. South Africa has become another home to me, and I will love it
eternally. I would not have changed this experience for anything, it all
happened for a reason, those reasons maybe unbeknownst to me right now, but
everything happens without question for a reason. This experience has taught me
the love and values of another country as well as the love waiting for me at
home in the U.S. They each hold a specific need in my heart, and I know that
this is not the last time I will be coming to Cape Town. I learned that I have
a lot more to learn about patience. I learned that I have the great ability to
be independent and buy my own groceries, and that I'm going to miss being in my
own house and space this summer. I learned that I am stronger than I think I
am, especially when it comes to plunging into the ocean with sharks or climbing
through new landscapes. I've just learned this and so much more and I can't
believe I have to go home now. But it's never goodbye to Cape Town. It's see
you next time.
