Across the Universe

I'm about to head off on the journey of a lifetime. It sounds sort of cliche, but it is nothing but the truth. I'm headed off on a journey abroad that will (I have no doubt) change my life. It is bittersweet, indeed. I feel like I have formed so many relationships here at home, and it's difficult to say goodbye for two months. However, I'm a strong believer that I will come out of this experience as a better person, which means I will be nothing less than a better friend, acquaintance, or whatever you want to name it. 

As I sit here trying to persuade myself to go to bed, it's hard to imagine that tomorrow is the beginning of this journey. It almost seems like a dream. I feel like I might just wake up and have another week to wait. But no, tomorrow is the day, and I'm ready for it. Most might describe themselves as anxious, nervous, and excited. I might be excited, but I'm definitely not nervous, and I'm very surprised by that! I just feel like for the first time all my stars are aligned. I have no fears, no doubts... I'm pure confidence (and not in a cocky way). 

All I can hope is that all the amazing people I've met before this journey will be there when I get back (and I have full faith that they will!). 

I wish everyone the best!
I'll see you August 22nd.

Love,
Jenna
