Saying goodbye to everyone has been a draining process, but it has also been a reminder of the solid friend base and family that I'm so lucky to have. It shows that even children from broken homes can still create family around them; furthermore, I'll be able to create a new family in Turkey once I'm there.
Because the places, the buildings, the ruins, the change of scenery--that will all be immensely interesting to explore. But it's the people that will capture my heart. And it's the people I'm leaving behind that leave me heartbroken at the moment.
San Diego, you are a beautiful city and my hometown, and I will miss you. But what I'll really miss is what lives inside of you: my family, my heart.
Next time you'll hear from me, I'll be somewhere newwwwwww!
good luck and God bless you in your traveling, working, building relationships and playing!!
