It is my first day back in the house. It doesn't even feel real that I have returned back to the states. This is very interesting to me and to experience this is eye-opening. I think this is a good time to rest and get my thoughts on paper. Yesterday I was feeling exhausted and fed up with staying in the airports. I was upset with how long I hadn't been in a bed. I did choose it and it was my decision. In the moment all I could hear was I wasn't allowed to be upset with anyone. "Would I be different?", I asked myself. "Yes.", I answered. Other people have lives and things to do, that is a fact. Their priorities are different and they have things to accomplish, so it is better for me to understand and appreciate that I could count on someone in the first place. Now that I have gotten the rest I needed, I can see from a different perspective. Looking at the pictures and videos from my trip are so very warming and I am so very grateful to God for blessing me with these experiences, connections, and relationships. I am excited to write and work on my screenplay and start the podcast again. After a few days of rest I will start putting these next ideas in place.
Life feels strange,
like I am still in Italy.
But I am not physically.
My heart is still there.
My process,
my days.
I feel sick.
Everything in my life-
-is happening as it must.
I am not in control.
I can only be guided,
following my heart.
To the people I met along the way, I take the wisdom you shared with me and implement every piece into my daily life. Thank you for the laughs, the wonderful nights spent walking the streets, thank you for being a part of my journey. I will see you again.
Life can be a dream
if you let it
life can be a dream,
when you are with the ones you love.
life can be a dream,
when you find your purpose.
No matter if your life is a dream,
or not.
it is still life.
take it by storm,
do what you love,
most importantly, love.
With all of your being,
love.
one day the dreams may fade,
but not the love you shared along the way.
Life can be a dream.
T.D.
