live simple

Today was my second day volunteering to teach English to 3rd graders one-on-one.  It was actually really fun.  I got to help this boy and I felt like life just paused and simplicity took over.  Nothing to worry about, nothing to gomin over, just happy that I was able to communicate and help out this kid with his English.  Hahahha.  Not to mention, we played the matching cards game and I told him to make a sentence with the pair he matched.  and when it was a picture of a queen, he said "my queen is my mom."

Hahahaha I want a child

It's true

when they say foreigners have done more and seen more than the locals have.

There is definitely more excitement, willingness to allocate time to travel, and eagerness to see and experience everything when a person is in a completely new environment.

And so I anticipate my turn!

But one thing that foreigners don't have in the host country- family

oh dear

Uh oh..... didn't think I'd say this already, but I think

Maybe just a little.. I miss home.

Not home, home but the lifestyle back home.


I gotta keep things in perspective. Hwaiting.

can't quite grasp

memories lingering
heart yearning
seeking something


Have you ever been so thirsty you just want even a drop of water? In situations like these, do you pause from your journey to your destination, grab some water even if it means wasting some time? (is it really a waste?) Or do you hold your thirst and try to walk in a quicker pace in order to reach your destination first and then drink some water?

quench my thirsty soul, it pleads
