i don't know how to put into words the last month. so many emotions. so much pure goodness. i am so thankful.
for yet another successful project mona. where 40 junior youth and youth came together and prayed and learned and became friends.
for an incredibly wonderful, but always brief, two weeks in california. spending time with my grandmother, my aunt, my cousins, and of course approximately 50 other relatives. going on adventures. staying up late laughing. an all too brief but oh so refreshing trip to davis where i got to spend time with lily, who i adore so much, and to meet some of the amazing people she knows.
for one last night with my best friends. because we have officially reached the point where we have no idea when we will all be reunited next.
and for time at home with my parents.
the last year has been monumental in terms of making strides towards getting my heart open again. to letting myself be vulnerable. it's been a hard process, but i'm making progress. my heart was so full and overflowing with love these last few weeks. and most certainly open. i'm trying everything in my power to keep it that way.

being back has been tough. and lonely. my heart tightens when i think back to everything that happened and the incredibly beautiful and wonderful people that i love so much. and i am so anxious to be in their presence again.
