I love this picture. The goofy smiles. The silly faces. The way that Luis is strangling Brodie. A simple memory from Saturday night at Luxy.
Last night we all made it back to Luxy yet again, but this time to say farewell to one of my bestest friends. Tania is heading back to Mexico on Saturday and I honestly don't know what I'm going to do without her. I've already lost two other girlfriends this year (Clare and Maria) and now she'll be the third to leave. Then, Sarah leaves on Monday, which only leaves me Karolina. Slowly but surely, everyone is starting to leave this island. This, of course, has made me reanalyze why I'm the crazy one who wants to stay here. I'm gaining new perspectives, making tough decisions, and diggng real deep to find what I want and what I don't want.
And during the most perfect farewell conversation with Tania last night at 4am over delicious dumplings, she spoke some wise words that I can't stop thinking about. She said "You are the one who ultimately decides when enough is enough. Decide what you want, make a list if you have to, and just make it happen."
On a side note, I have this sudden urge to write today. I have a need to document this transitional period. To reflect on some thoughts, some findings, and some revelations. I want to remember these moments because they are the moments that foster growth, fear, and change. And I know that writing things down will help me analyze all these crazy back-and-forth feelings I'm having.
