It's funny how...
...fast you can forget what a hot shower feels like until you take one again and stand there under the steam almost in shock.
...angry you can feel about everything until one person says one thing and that anger becomes unbreakable determination to change the looming reality ahead of you.
...a shower curtain that takes your breath away can break your bank but make you so incredibly happy.
...exhausted you can be but a few hours alone or a few hours with friends can extend your bedtime past what should be possible.
...good putting the cheapest sandwich cheese and ham in-between the cheapest bread can taste when you're starving.
...good cereal is for the first time in six months. And I wasn't even a huge fan of it back in the states.
...one Dominican can make you feel like you're completely fluent and completely YOU again.
...long five days out of site can feel.
...powerful you feel when you have a dream.
...much love exists here and back home to carry you through the disaster you are in even when you don't deserve it.
...buying underwear can make you feel like you're in debt.
...you can in fact survive for a week without Internet.
...much you can carry in a giant hiking bag and an Ikea bag (and then carry it on a guagua jam-packed with people).
...much patience you can have when you choose to have it.
...fast the sense of "home" can be created and the thought of leaving it (whether it be for a week or forever) already horrifies you after less than three months in site.
...we've been in this country for six months already.
..."going with the flow" is no longer just a choice, it's a necessity.
...capable you can be (or how capable you ARE) when it comes down to it.
...fast friends are formed in a foreign country where we come from 100 different backgrounds (US and DR).
...ready I am to make a difference when I still have no idea how.
Buenas noches.
