Love

Spending Valentine's day with my boyfriend this past weekend reminded me how lucky I am that he's in my life. I love being around him, he really gets me. We're separating when I leave for Ukraine in March because it's just unfair to ask him to wait for me. I'd rather see him grow and enjoy life on his own. Joining the Peace Corps is my decision and a dream of mine but I can't help feeling torn away from my first love.

Everything happens for a reason, right?

If we're meant to be, our paths will cross again.

*crosses fingers*

Right now I'm so spoiled with love, moving away will definitely be tough. Not knowing the language, culture, and people will all be big obstacles I have to overcome... that's probably why my Peace Corps rep. stresses packing things that make you comfortable, remind you of home, remind you you're loved. I just have to stay positive, make as many friends as I can, and bring tons of pictures ♥
