Of my time in the Dominican Republic, I hope to one day say the following...
- It was an irrevocable life-changing experience. No cliché. One that changed the path of the rest of my life.
- It gave me life.
- It gave me room to grow and improve the self.
- It gave me a new perspective on the world and my role in it.
- It allowed me to explore my passions.
- It challenged my morality & tested my faith.
- It was the start of something big.
- It did not reconfigure my cultural furniture, but simply added new pieces (new ideas, new customs, new traditions) to the room.
- It was perhaps the first moment when I found myself able to focus on mind, body, and soul simultaneously.
- It was the start of several years of day-dreaming & restlessness, and a journey to embracing my true character, my transient self.
Incredibly introspective! Hope it was everything you had hoped it would be & so much more.
